Wat Yannawa is located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River on Charoen Krung Road. The temple is an ancient structure dating back to the Ayutthaya period and was formerly known as Wat Khok Khwai. During the Thonburi period, it was elevated to a royal temple. The main attraction is the junk Yan Nawa. Later, during the Thonburi period, the temple was renamed Wat Khok Krabue. A new chapel was added during the reign of King Rama I. Renovations were carried out under King Rama III, and a junk pagoda was built in place of the traditional pagodas to revive the endangered junk style.

A masterpiece of art from the Rattanakosin period, including the pediment created by royal craftsmen under King Rama I, adorned with praying deities and mythical animals. The chapel houses four Buddha statues in the Mara Vijaya pose, in varying sizes. Adjacent to the chapel is the Tripitaka Hall, a three-story building in typical Thai style with three tower-like turrets. Here, Tripitaka cabinets, important Buddhist scriptures, Dharma books, and the royal memorial of King Nangklao are kept. Located in front of the ship-shaped pagoda, the hall welcomes tourists and the public. Address: Charoen Krung Road, Yan Nawa Subdistrict, Sathon District, Bangkok.
