Loha Prasat: One of Bangkok Old Town’s Most Beautiful Surprises

Bangkok Old Town is full of remarkable temples, but Loha Prasat at Wat Ratchanatdaram feels different from the moment you arrive.

Its 37 metal spires rise in striking symmetry above the temple grounds, creating one of Bangkok’s most distinctive architectural landmarks. Yet what may surprise you most isn’t just how beautiful it is — it’s how peaceful the experience feels.

And from Prince Palace Hotel Bangkok, getting there is remarkably easy.

What Makes Loha Prasat Worth Exploring?

37 Spires, One Remarkable Structure

The 37 spires represent the 37 virtues leading toward enlightenment, giving the architecture meaning beyond its extraordinary appearance.

More to Discover Inside

Don’t stop at the exterior. Step inside to explore exhibitions about the history and significance of Loha Prasat, view sacred relics, and discover another side of this remarkable structure.

A Place to Slow Down

Despite being in the heart of Bangkok, Loha Prasat feels surprisingly calm. Quiet spaces for walking meditation, reading and reflection offer a welcome pause from the energy of the city outside.

The View from Above

Make your way to the upper level and Bangkok Old Town opens up around you. Historic temple rooftops and the Golden Mount meet the modern city skyline — and in the distance, you can even spot Prince Palace Hotel Bangkok.

Did you know? Loha Prasat is the only surviving metal castle of its kind in the world.

Getting There Is Part of the Experience

From Bobae Pier, directly behind Prince Palace Hotel Bangkok, take the Khlong Saen Saeb boat to Phan Fa Lilat Pier.

The boat ride takes around five minutes, followed by an easy 300-metre walk to Loha Prasat. It’s a wonderfully simple way to experience another side of Bangkok — travelling along the canal before stepping into the historic streets of the Old Town

Worth More Than a Quick Visit

Come for the unusual architecture, but give yourself time to wander.

Look closely at the 37 spires, explore the interiors, find a quiet corner and make your way to the top. Loha Prasat is one of those places that can easily exceed expectations — more beautiful, more peaceful and more fascinating than photographs suggest.

Best of all, it’s just minutes from Prince Palace Hotel Bangkok.
