Wat Suthat Bangkok Thailand

King Rama I founded the temple at the central area of the city and built the sizable Wiharn as the Wiharn of Wat Phanan Choeng in Ayutthaya. Then the Sukhothai style bronze Buddha image, brought from Wat Mahathat in Sukhothai, was installed inside the Wiharn. The image was called Phra Toh or Phra Yai means big Buddha image. The Wiharn (main hall) was completed in the reign of King Rama III. Then the Ubosot (ordination hall) was built along with the principal Buddha image. The temple was then named Wat Suthat Thepwararam. Later, King Rama IV named the principal image inside the Wiharn Phra Phuttha Srisakkayamuni and the principal image inside the Ubosot Phra Phuttha Trilokachet.
