Wat Prasat, Buddhist temple in Bang Krang, Thailand

The temple features a traditional ordination chapel decorated with intricate carvings and detailed ornamentation reflecting regional architectural styles of Thai temples.

The temple's construction dates back to the late 18th century, before the second fall of Ayutthaya, and houses two Buddha images recovered from the Nakhon Chaisi River.

Inside the ordination hall, visitors can observe murals created during the reigns of Kings Rama III and Rama IV, showcasing local artistic techniques.

The temple welcomes visitors throughout the week, with temporary restrictions during religious ceremonies and specific observance days.

Two principal Buddha statues, Luang Pho Sit Chaiyamongkon and Luang Pho Kai Sitmongkhon, were salvaged after their transport boat capsized while escaping Burmese troops.
