Lonely Planet review

Buddha image buffs find Wat Benchamabophit fascinating. Known as the 'Marble Temple' (it's made of white Carrara marble), it has a collection of 53 Buddha images in different figures and styles. It was built during Rama V's reign (the temple's central Buddha image contains his ashes) and its cruciform bòt (central chapel) is a pure example of contemporary wat architecture.
