Wat Phrong Akat

Wat Phrong Akat is a Buddhist temple in Phrong Akat featuring a large golden stupa that rises above surrounding rice fields. The main building spans two levels and contains multiple prayer halls arranged in a cross-shaped layout.

The temple was established as a central religious site for the local community in Phrong Akat and has served as a prayer site for generations. It has grown over time to become one of the more recognized temples in the Bang Nam Priao area.

The main Buddha inside the sanctuary is a replica of Luang Po Sothon, a revered figure throughout Chachoengsao province. People come here to pray and leave offerings in front of this statue.

Visitors should wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees when entering the temple grounds, following local customs. It is best to remove shoes before entering indoor sacred areas and to maintain respectful behavior throughout the visit.

A pink Ganesh statue on the temple grounds serves as a place where visitors leave small rat figures to communicate their wishes and hopes. This unusual custom is a local tradition that often surprises visitors who come across it.
