Our Hotel near Wat Thattong

Near our hotel in trendy Thong Lo is the revered temple, Wat Thattong. Located directly next to Ekkamai BTS Station and clearly visible to commuters, tourists, and casual observers, Wat Thattong stands out as a symbol of spirituality and Thai culture in a sea of modern buildings and commercial premises. Wat Thattong is a Third-Class Royal Temple that was established in 1938 and received the Royal Charter in October 1940. Its history is long and is said to go back to the Sukhothai period. In more recent times (2007), Princess Galyani Vadhana Krom Luang Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra accepted Wat Thattong under patronage and bestowed a new symbol on the temple. For local people and guests staying at Centre Point Thong Lo, it offers a calm, serene atmosphere in which to calmly reflect, pay homage to Lord Buddha, or make merit. Although the New Year period in Bangkok is known for a party atmosphere, with fireworks and music, many Buddhists are happy to find an oasis of calm in the middle of the city in which to pay their respects.

Whether you are a devout Buddhist or a visitor wishing to embrace and experience Thai culture at its most pure, the atmosphere and ambiance at Wat Thattong will welcome you. There are a number of other temples within a short distance of Centre Point Thong Lo, and our staff will be happy to give you directions if required. If you'd like to secure your accommodation in order to visit Wat Thattong comfortably and conveniently, please book directly with Centre Point for the best possible rates and take advantage of any seasonal promotions.
