Wat Mangkon Kamalawat, which means "Dragon Lotus Temple," is a beautiful Chinese Buddhist temple located in the heart of Bangkok's Chinatown. During Chinese New Year, it's adorned with red lanterns and filled with people praying for blessings. The temple is very clean and features many shrines dedicated to various deities, including a statue of Sun Wukong. The colorful patterns on the ground and the presence of a pharmacy for good deeds add to its charm, making it worth exploring slowly.

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.
