Marble temple in Bangkok

This is one of my favorite temples in Bangkok, Thailand. It's named Wat Benchamabophit (Thai: วัดเบญจมบพิตร). It's also known as Marble temple. I've heard that it made of Italian Marble and has very beautiful symmetric design. The vibrant orange roofs are also really nice and it really matches. In addition, this temple's image is used on reverse of five Baht coins. Because of that I think it's a kind of familiar shape for everyone. It's located next to Dusit zoo (a.k.a. Khao Din), very close to the Statue of Rama V in Dusit district.
