Wat Ratchabophit Sathitmahasimaram Ratchaworawihan

Wow, another long Wat name. While not as big as nearby Wat Suthat Thepwararam Ratchaworamahawihan, Wat Ratchabophit Sathitmahasimaram Ratchaworawihan is more impressive for its absurd amount of exterior tile, mosaic work. It's such fun to copy and paste really long Wat names.

Smaller scale, larger amount of decoration. Gold and tiles by the elephant cart load.

Gold everywhere, windows, door frames, any empty space seems to have been filled with bling.

From certain angles, the architecture fades away and the Wat becomes a kaleidoscope of bright colors and intersecting planes.

Whew, a little break from the iris burning color parade. A family tomb, respectfully done down in white and a super cute, high relief wood carved door that features a dapper guard.

Back to the main temple, looking up at crazy gold column caps and a red soffit.
