Wat Kamphaeng, Buddhist temple in Bang Khen, Thailand
Wat Kamphaeng is a Buddhist temple in Bang Khen featuring traditional Thai buildings with ornate roofs and layered designs throughout the grounds. The complex includes prayer halls, monastic quarters, and landscaped areas with religious statuary.
The temple was established in the mid-20th century as Buddhist institutions expanded across Bang Khen. Its founding reflected a period of religious development in the region.
The temple serves as a gathering place where locals come to make merit, light incense, and observe Buddhist practices throughout the year. It remains a focal point for neighborhood celebrations and personal spiritual moments.
The temple grounds are accessible from central Bangkok via public transportation and receive visitors daily from sunrise to sunset. Modest dress is appreciated, and visitors should respect local customs when entering prayer areas.
The temple houses a collection of older religious artworks created by local artisans over several decades. These pieces show the artistic history of the site and often go unnoticed by visitors.
