Historic Place, Religious Sight

Built under the patronage of Phraya Phetpichai and Phraya Ratchasongkram, Wat Pariwat Ratchasongkram, often simply called Wat Pariwat, and nicknamed the “David Beckham Temple” because of a famous statue of the footballer incorporated into its decoration, is a unique Buddhist temple in Bangkok’s Yan Nawa district, blending traditional Thai Buddhist architecture with quirky pop‑culture references, making it one of the most unusual and memorable temples in the city and perfect for visitors seeking something beyond the city’s classic temple circuit.
