Wat Muang, Buddhist temple in Lak Song district, Bangkok, Thailand
Wat Muang is a Buddhist temple located in Lak Song district in Bangkok, Thailand, featuring traditional Thai architectural style with religious structures throughout its grounds. The compound displays typical elements of a Thai temple, including halls, shrines, and courtyards arranged according to local design conventions.
The temple's administrative structure was established in 1998 when portions of surrounding districts were merged to form the modern administrative boundaries. This reorganization shaped the temple's placement within the current district framework.
The temple serves as a gathering place where local worshippers participate in Buddhist ceremonies and spiritual practices throughout the year. Visitors can observe how the community integrates these traditions into their daily lives.
The temple is easily accessible from Phet Kasem Road and Kanchanaphisek Road, with parking facilities available for visitors. Information desks on site can help answer questions and guide you through the grounds.
The temple's name comes from the second milestone marker along Khlong Phasi Charoen canal, a waterway that historically served as a key transportation route. This naming reflects how waterways shaped the development and geography of the surrounding area.
