The Marble Temple is known for being one of the most beautiful temples in Bangkok. A first-class royal temple, which featured on the 5 baht coin, Wat Benchamabophit is commonly referred to as the Marble Temple due to the imported Italian Carrara marble throughout the complex.

The Marble Temple is located in the Dusit area. There are no Metro or Skytrain stations nearby, so the easiest way to reach it from central Bangkok is by taxi or tuk-tuk. The Marble Temple also features on various sightseeing tours, especially those focused on the city’s temples.

The Marble Temple is open to visitors from 8am to 5pm daily, with a slightly later opening time on Sundays. Local visitors arrive at the temple from 6am to give alms and other offerings to the monks. It’s best to visit earlier in the day to beat the heat. Candlelit processions are held in the evening during Buddhist festivals in February and May.

Since the Marble Temple is an active place of worship, visitors should dress respectfully when visiting the temple complex: Opt for modest clothing that covers shoulders, arms, and legs. You must also remove your shoes before entering certain parts of the temple complex.
