Wat Phantao

A small hall built entirely from carved teak panels, which served as a royal throne hall before it became a temple.

Why it's unique

It is the last substantial teak building of its kind in the old city, and the dark timber is a complete change of register after the gold next door.

Before you go

Immediately next to Wat Chedi Luang and almost always walked past on the way. Five minutes inside is enough, and it is free.
