Wat Thepthidaram does, however, have some very unique features which you won\u2019t see at any other temples in Bangkok which make it well worth visiting. Wat Thepthidaram means the \u2018Temple of the Heavenly Daughter\u2019 and was founded in 1836 by King Rama III in honour of his eldest daughter. This association with a Royal lady is related to one of unusual aspects of the temple which is the representation of female disciples of the Lord Buddha both in wall murals and in 52 statues of female monks attending a sermon given by the Lord Buddha. In Buddhist temples monks are almost always men and the representation of female monks with the Lord Buddha overturns many of Asia\u2019s conventions and traditions about the place of women in society."}, {"text_idx": "#000118", "text": "A second unusual feature of the temple is it has a white stone Buddha statue, known as the Marble Buddha. The third, and probably most famous, unusual feature of the temple is that Thailand\u2019s greatest poet, Sunthon Phu, spent two years as a monk at Wat Thepthidaram. The room and adjacent chambers where Sunthon Phu slept and studied have been turned into a museum dedicated to his life. A visit to the temple and museum costs 100 THB for foreign visitors and includes a tour around the museum by an English speaking monk which is very interesting."}]
