Wat Rajabopit Sathitmahasimaram Rajaworavihara ( Wat Rajabopit ) is situated between Fuang Nakhon Road and Usadang Road ( Khlong Ku Muang Derm Road ), near the Ministry of Interior. King Rama V ordered its construction in 1969.
In the temple there are eight stone pillars each surmounted with a covering of the Buddhist Wheel of Law (Dhammachak), one of each of the eight directions, hence the name "Mahasimaram" (Great Boundary Pillars). On the gate shutters of the temple are carved soldier of the Corps of Royal Pages attired in European - style uniforms instead of traditional dresses. On the entering of temple compound of the front entrance the phra ubosot, phra chedi and phra vihara can be seen raised above ground level on a platform.
