Text description provided by the architects. Wat Ananda Metyarama Thai Buddhist Temple is the oldest and only Thai  Buddhist  Temple  in Singapore  that  receives royal patronage from the Thai Royal Family . With its long monastic  tradition of ordaining monks, the temple  will celebrate  its 90th  anniversary  since its inauguration by expanding  its  current  facilities  by adding  a new  block  next to its existing historic  Main Shrine. The new  commemorative structure  will have  to  replace  the current  3 storey  Monks Quarters and  will  need  double its current  600 sq.m  built in floor area. The  program for  the extension block not only  calls for  more monks quarters, it would include additional  prayer  halls, meditation centres , Dharma classrooms, a Museum  and an large  space for communal festivities  during key dates in the Buddhist  calendar.
