Wat Ratchabophit is a Buddhist temple and a site of great religious significance in Bangkok. Located in proximity to the Grand Palace and Wat Po, the temple boasts a combination of traditional Thai, Sri Lankan, and gilded Italian architecture. In the western end of the temple lies the royal cemetery which houses a number of monuments to the members of the Thai royal family the main highlight of The temple is its sanctuary which is located in a circular courtyard that is over 43 metres high. Not far from here, you can relax on the rooftop of the Swing bar, for a nice view of the Giant Swing during sunset (Rooftop Ching Cha Hostel).
