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.
