Map to the royal temples
at the Fort Mahakarn junction

The map to the royal temples covers the area where Wat Saket,
Wat Rachanatdaram and Wat Thepthidaram are located.

These three temples are near one another at the busy junction Fort Mahakarn junction
where Central Ratchadamneon Avenue fans out into multiple roads.

The prominent landmark is Wat Saket, the temple on the golden mount and
Fort Mahakarn at the foot of the mount.
The entrance to Wat Saket is at Boriphat Road on the east bank of the Banglampu – Ong Ang Canal.

Wat Rachanatdaram is near the junction just behind the park opposite Fort Mahakarn.
The Metal Castle or Loha Prasat can be seen from the main road.

Wat Thepthidaram is about 300 m further down Maha Chai Road,
opposite the century old Fort Mahakarn community.

The map to the royal temples

The scale of the enlarged Bangkok street map is shown at the top right corner.

It's an area that's steeped in history. The King Rama VII Museum is within walking distance.

The second canal ring, Banglampu – Ong Ang Canal dissects this area and the Mahanak Canal,
an east-west canal built later, starts from here and extents into the modern city center.

The old Panfah Lilat Bridge spanning the Banglampu – Ong Ang Canal was built
during the reign of King Rama V.
