Wat Lat Bua Khao

Wat Lat Bua Khao, Buddhist temple in Bang Kho Laem district, Thailand

Description

Wat Lat Bua Khao is a Buddhist temple in Bang Kho Laem district featuring a modern Ubosot building alongside a historical structure. White walls decorated with floral patterns surround the main areas, which are covered with orange-tiled flooring.

History

The temple was built in 1872 and consecrated in 1882. Its name comes from the white lotus flowers that once grew abundantly in the surrounding area.

Culture

The temple serves as a gathering place where local people come together for daily prayers and Buddhist celebrations. Visitors can observe how the community uses the space throughout the year for their spiritual activities.

Practical

The temple is accessible by Bangkok's public transportation system, including buses and the BTS Skytrain. Visitors should dress respectfully and remove shoes when entering religious spaces within the grounds.

The historical Ubosot houses precious Buddha statues beneath a blood-red colored roof. This striking color choice creates strong visual contrast against the white walls and serves as the temple's distinctive mark.
