Wat Khanon Nuea

Located at the junction of Ban Pom and Ban Mai districts, this temple stands near a bend in the Chao Phraya River with multiple structures across its grounds.

The temple dates back to the Ayutthaya period, featuring ancient square chedi northwest of the ordination hall, which contain Buddha images and mythological figures in cardinal niches.

The temple maintains its role as a monastery where Buddhist clergy provide religious services and conduct traditional ceremonies for the local community.

The temple complex includes an ordination hall, sermon hall, crematorium, bell tower, funeral chedi, and monks' quarters, connected by pathways and a footbridge.

The name 'Khanon' refers to a former toll house that regulated river traffic and collected taxes from boats transporting merchandise along the waterway.
