Wat Chan, Buddhist temple in Ban Chan, Thailand.
The temple occupies a 12-rai area featuring an ubosot measuring 10 meters wide by 20 meters long, with traditional Thai architectural elements throughout the complex.
Established on May 20, 1772, Wat Chan received official royal permission for its boundary demarcation on January 9, 1795, marking its status as a recognized temple.
The main Buddha image in the ubosot faces east in the Mara Victory posture, accompanied by seven ancient Buddha statues from the Thonburi period.
