Wat Yannawa (Thai:วัดยานนาวา, RTGS: Wat Yannawa, commonly known in English as "The boat temple", is a Buddhist temple (Wat) in Bangkok on Charoenkrung Rd, Sathorn district. This temple has a long history from the Ayutthaya era to the present. During the reign of King Rama I, the ubosot was built and named "Wat Yannawa". Then, King Rama III built a temple building in the shape of a Chinese junk ship, giving the temple the nickname the "boat temple". The part of architecture inside of this temple is about the room that people pray, ubosot that enshrined the Buddha images and the pictures that draw in the style of "Loi Prathip Royal Lantern Festival" (Thai:พระราชพิธีลอยพระประทีป). The part of architecture outside is about the building that enshrined Buddha relic from Sri Lanka and has the Goddess of Mercy in front of the building.
