Wat Ratchabophit
is
a Buddhist temple just off
Rattanakosin Island in
Bangkok. It
was built during the reign of King
Rama V and is famed for its western-styled Bobby-like
door guards, as well as for its unique circular
courtyard that surrounds a gilded
chedi
(fig.).
The section at the western entrance contains a royal
burial ground, that consists of numerous cemetery
mausoleums, mostly with the ashes of close family
members of King Rama V.
