Wat Yanasangwararam Woramahavihara

This guide to Wat Yanasangwararam Woramahavihara in Pattaya centers on the monk this lakeside complex was built to honor in 1976, years before he rose to become Thailand's Supreme Patriarch. You'll hear how the site was quietly rededicated once he reached that rank, and what brought a fragment of his remains back here decades later, in a 2017 ceremony led by the kingdom's highest-ranking monk. Look across the lake at the mix of pavilion styles that devotees chose to surround him.
