Wat Amphawa, Buddhist temple in Ban Chang Lo, Thailand

The temple features a central golden Buddha statue within its structure, reflecting architectural elements from the Ayutthaya period of Thai history.

During the 18th century, Wat Amphawa played a role in battles between Siam and Burmese forces, leading to its temporary neglect after 1768.

The temple complex includes statues depicting traditional Muay Thai combat scenes, connecting spiritual practices with Thailand's martial arts heritage.

Visitors can reach Wat Amphawa through organized boat tours departing from the Amphawa floating market or by arranging private water transportation.

The temple grounds contain commemorative statues of King Taksin and his soldiers, installed during the 1967 bicentennial restoration project.
