Wat Krathum Suea Pla

Wat Krathum Suea Pla features both Thai and Chinese architectural elements, with numerous shrines and statues depicting key Buddhist figures throughout its grounds.

The temple dates back to 1772 during the late Ayutthaya period and underwent restoration in 1924 by Chinese immigrant Khun Prawet Chanarak and his wife.

The temple houses a museum displaying 80 different Buddha image postures, including rare representations that provide insights into historical Buddhist practices.

Located in Soi On Nut 67 along Khlong Prawet Burirom canal, the temple offers parking facilities and maintains a primary school for local education.

The principal Buddha image, Luang Pho Phet, is decorated with Russian diamonds and stands as a replica of the Sukhothai-style Phra Phuttha Chinnarat.
