Wat Chong Nonsi
วัดช่องนนทรี
Rare late-Ayutthaya Jataka murals surviving intact in a small ubosot among the Rama III towers — a specialist's treasure hiding in the CBD's shadow.
The rare Ayutthaya-era temple in the office district — its ordination hall keeps 300-year-old murals, un-restored and intimate. Find it off Rama III Soi 67, nearly 4 km from the BTS station that shares its name.

Checked 10 Oct 2026 against openstreetmap.org, wikidata.org. Things change: closures for royal ceremonies and holidays are common.
Visiting a temple
- Shoulders and knees covered, for everyone. Sarongs are usually available at the gate, sometimes for a small deposit.
- Shoes come off before you step into an ordination hall — watch what everyone else is doing at the threshold.
- Most compounds open early, around 08:00, and close by 17:00–18:00; the major ones charge foreign visitors a small entry fee.
- Early morning is cooler, quieter and far better light than midday.
Check current entry fee and today's closing time when you arrive — we have no verified official site for this one.
