Wat Si Yaek Charoen Phon, Buddhist temple in Nong Krathum, Thailand.
Wat Si Yaek Charoen Phon is a Buddhist temple in Nong Krathum that features traditional Thai architecture with ornate decorations throughout its grounds. The site includes an ordination hall and several significant Buddha statues displayed within the main structures.
The temple began in 1975 as a meditation center founded by local residents seeking a spiritual place for their community. Over time it grew into an established religious site with formal recognition and official boundaries.
The temple maintains two principal Buddha images, including Luang Pu Liw seated on a mythical serpent and Phra Somdej Ong Pha Tum in imperial style.
The temple sits on spacious grounds that are generally open for visitors to explore at a leisurely pace. Wearing comfortable shoes and showing respect for religious spaces and any ceremonies in progress will enhance your visit.
Originally established as a meditation center, the temple transformation was driven by local residents and Nai Lek Kongjaem who campaigned for its upgraded status.
