Wat Samphanthawongsaram, Buddhist temple in Sampheng, Bangkok, Thailand
Located in Bangkok's Chinatown, Wat Samphanthawongsaram features a principal Buddha image made from a hollow log covered with lime and wooden arms with gold applications.
King Rama I renovated this Ayutthaya period temple in 1796, designating it as a royal temple under the name Wat Ko Kaew Langkaram due to its island-like location.
The temple contains numerous silver and lead votive tablets within the base of its Buddha image, representing centuries of Buddhist devotional practices in Thailand.
The temple installation includes air conditioning systems in the main halls to accommodate monks and visitors during religious ceremonies throughout the year.
Dan Beach Bradley, who established the first printing house in Siam, initially resided near this temple, leading to multiple printing establishments in the surrounding area.
