There are 9 Royal Temples in Bangkok, each dedicated to a King in the Chakri Dynasty (to whom the current King is from). There is a tradition in Thailand to visit these Temples during the Songkhran period (Thai New Year) all in one day. This is suppose to give good luck for the upcoming year. At the bottom of this post there is a Google Map showing the locations of each of the 9 Royal Temples. Also, each of the Temples below has links to an expanded description of each of the temples.
Seven of the 9 temples are found within the "Oldtown" Area of Bangkok (the area surrounding the Grand Palace). That is a good starting point to start your adventure of finding the 9 royal Temples. Wat Ratcha Orasaram is located on the Chomburi side of the Chao Phraya River and Wat Param Kao is located off of Rama IX Road.
