Wat Paramaiyikawat, Buddhist temple on Ko Kret island, Thailand

The temple features traditional Thai architectural elements with decorated roofs and a white pagoda designed in Mon style next to the main building.

Established during King Rama III's reign in the 19th century, the temple received extensive restoration work in 1874 under King Chulalongkorn's direction.

The temple maintains Mon language classes for monks, preserving ancient scripts through prayers written on dried banana leaves by the head monk.

Visitors reach the temple by wooden boats from the mainland at Pak Kret, with regular ferry services operating throughout the day.

The temple's Phra Chedi Mutao pagoda has maintained its tilted position since 1891 due to river bank erosion, becoming a recognized symbol of Ko Kret.
