Wat Mangkon Kamalawat
Dragon Flower Temple (Wat Leng Noei Yi)
One of the famous temples in Yaowarat, Wat Mangkon Kamalawat offers many religious activities in a great atmosphere. The temple has better rules than many others, as it doesn't allow the use of incense, which usually produces a lot of smoke. This makes the experience more pleasant for visitors.

Siri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara
Second Largest Shikh Temple outside of India
I visited the Siri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara while in Bangkok. Although I've never been to India, this temple felt like a unique and interesting experience. However, it didn't quite have the ambiance of a religious institution; it felt more like a government building or palace to me.
