Wat Kudi Thong, Buddhist temple in Rua Yai, Thailand

Located on the banks of Mae Klong River, Wat Kudi Thong features traditional Thai architectural elements with ornate stucco work and detailed design patterns.

Constructed in the early 18th century during the Ayutthaya Kingdom, the temple underwent restoration after the Burmese invasion of 1767 damaged many structures.

Buddhist ceremonies and festivals take place regularly at Wat Kudi Thong, maintaining Thai religious traditions through meditation sessions and community gatherings.

Visitors can reach the temple via frequent trains from Bangkok to Ayutthaya, with local guides available to explain the site's architectural and religious details.

The temple received its name from a golden hermitage that was relocated from Wat Bang Li due to river erosion at the original location.
