Wat Wara Nayok Rangsan, Buddhist temple in Bang Pahan, Thailand.
Wat Wara Nayok Rangsan is a Buddhist temple in Bang Pahan located along the Lopburi River, built in traditional Thai architectural style. The grounds contain a central stupa, several smaller shrines, and various buildings arranged throughout the property.
The temple complex was originally known as Wat Khao Din before receiving its current name. Its prominence grew in the 17th century when the Lopburi River served as an important trade and transport route for the Ayutthaya Kingdom.
The temple serves as a gathering place where local people visit regularly to pray and leave offerings throughout the year. It functions as a center for learning about Buddhism and personal reflection for the community.
The temple grounds are open daily from sunrise to sunset and have parking areas for visitors. Information boards throughout the site explain the architectural features and help guide your visit.
The temple sits on the opposite bank of the river from Wat Pa Fai, and this positioning shaped the spiritual geography of the entire area. Together, the two temples form a religious axis that influenced how Bang Pahan developed.
