On the western side of the huge grassy area of Sanam Luang, with its main entrance on Thanon Maharat, Wat Mahathat (daily 9am-5pm; free) houses the Mahachulalongkorn Buddhist University and hosts a daily herbal medicine market. Situated in Section Five of the wat is its International Buddhist Meditation Centre (tel 02/222 6011) where English-language meditation sessions are held on the second Saturday of the month (4-6pm). Outside, along the pavements of Maharat and surrounding roads, vendors set up stalls to sell some of the city's most reasonably priced amulets.
