Wat Na Phra Meru (Phra Mehn): The former name of this monastery was Wat Phra Meruachikaram. Located on the bank of the Khlong Sabua opposite the Grand Palace. The Ubosot design is of early Ayutthaya style. The most interesteing objects are the principal Buddha image, fully decorated in regal attire, and another ancient Buddha image made of stone in the small wihan.

This is one of the most beautiful Buddha images. When I went there, there was a camera club with many people taking photographs of the Buddha on the right.
