Wat San Chao, Buddhist temple in Ban Klang, Thailand
Located near the Chao Phraya River, Wat San Chao features traditional Thai religious architecture with Chinese design elements across its three-story structure.
The temple originated around 1790 when Prince Mahaprom, known for occult practices, established it after encountering a Mon monk named Phra Ajarn Ru.
The temple grounds include an ordination hall, Mon-style pagoda, and Chinese-style structure housing the revered deity Chao Pho Wat San Chao.
The temple opens daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with visitors required to wear modest clothing and remove shoes before entering sacred areas.
The temple name derives from its position at Khlong San Chao, where devotees gather at a riverside market during weekends to trade local products.
