Wat Chana Songkhram, Buddhist temple near Khaosan Road in Bangkok, Thailand
The temple features an ordination hall with a prominent Buddha statue surrounded by 15 smaller Buddha figures and walls decorated with Buddhist paintings.
Originally named Wat Klang Na due to its rice field location, the temple received its current name after victories against Burmese forces in the late 18th century.
The temple maintains traditional Thai religious ceremonies, including the annual Kathina festival marking the conclusion of Buddhist Lent with offerings and rituals.
The temple opens daily from sunrise to sunset, with visitors required to wear clothes covering shoulders and knees while exploring the religious complex.
Behind the main Buddha statue, a special chamber contains the ashes of royal family members from the Front Palace, making it the only temple with this feature.
