Wat Bophit Phimuk, Buddhist temple in Chakkrawat, Thailand.

The temple complex features traditional Thai architecture with a main hall housing the Phra Sam Phuttha Bophit statue in Māravijaya posture.

Originally named Wat Teen Lane, the temple received its current name in 1781 during a major renovation led by Prince Anurak Devesh under King Rama I.

The monks' residences display a combination of Thai and Chinese architectural elements, reflecting the temple's location near Bangkok's Chinatown district.

The temple stands near the foot of Phra Pok Klao Bridge and visitors can reach it by bus routes or water taxis serving the Chakkrawat area.

During the reign of King Rama II, the temple grounds served as a temporary burial site for victims of a cholera epidemic.
