Wat Tawet, Buddhist temple ruins in Samphao Lom, Thailand

The temple site contains visible stucco decorations on gables, with standing walls and foundations aligned in north-south and east-west directions.

The temple grounds underwent excavation and restoration efforts in 2015, revealing multiple monastic structures and ancient architectural elements across the 130-meter area.

Local inhabitants named the district Samphao Lom, meaning capsized junk, due to frequent boat accidents at the confluence of Pa Sak and Chao Phraya Rivers.

Visitors can access the site through a brick path leading to stairs that descend three meters below the current road level toward the former Khu Cham canal.

The temple grounds contain scattered fragments of Buddha statues and ancient bricks, displaying evidence of treasure farming activities from the mid-twentieth century.
