Wat Pak Nam Fang Nuea

Wat Pak Nam Fang Nuea is a small temple in Bang Phrom housing an ordination hall built in Mon architectural style that faces east. The hall opens through a single door and contains no windows, creating a focused space for worship and monastic activities.

The temple was established around 1827 and received its royal boundary mark in 1835, formally recognizing it as an official Buddhist monastery. This early royal acknowledgment shows the place held significance in the region for centuries.

Locals gather here regularly for prayer and religious observances that mark the rhythm of community life throughout the year. The space continues to serve its spiritual purpose while connecting residents to their Buddhist traditions.

The site sits at 183 Soi Pak Nam Fang Nuea 19 and became accessible by car in 2004 via a passage that passes behind Princess Ubolratana Rajakanya's College. Knowing this access point makes reaching the temple straightforward for visitors.

The principal Buddha image here has the name Luang Phor Petch and sits in meditation posture within the hall. This temple has a twin relationship with Wat Pak Nam Fang Tai across the canal, reportedly founded by brothers who later chose separate paths.
