Wat Kasattrathirat Worawihan

The temple stands on the western bank of the Chao Phraya River, featuring a central prang surrounded by multiple smaller stupas and traditional ceremonial halls.

The temple, initially named Wat Kasastra during the Ayutthaya period, served as a military camp for Burmese forces before the fall of Ayutthaya in 1767.

The main Buddha image, Phrabuddha Kasattrathirat, sits in the Mara Vichaya posture within the temple's ubosot, displaying Rattanakosin period artistic elements.

Visitors can access the temple via highway 3469, crossing the Wat Kasattrathirat Worawihan Bridge, with the site remaining active for Buddhist ceremonies throughout the year.

The temple's large Wiharn contains a Mondop-topped arch with carvings of Narayana riding Garuda, while the ubosot features intricate wooden corbels depicting Naga kings.
