Wat Chantharam Worawihan, Buddhist temple in Bang Yi Ruea, Thailand.
Wat Chantharam Worawihan is a Buddhist temple in Bang Yi Ruea featuring Chinese-influenced architectural elements and traditional high-relief Buddha images. The sanctuary walls display intricate decorative patterns and detailed artistic work throughout the complex.
The temple originated during the Ayutthaya period and gained royal status under King Taksin's rule. It served as his meditation sanctuary between 1767 and 1782.
The temple houses a collection of brass and teak Buddha statues that visitors encounter throughout the grounds. The most prominent image shows Buddha in the pose of subduing Mara and sits inside the ordination hall.
The temple opens daily and sits next to Talat Wat Klang market, which operates from midnight until noon selling fresh produce and traditional goods. Visitors can easily explore both locations during the same visit.
The temple grounds contain a royal crematorium and stupas holding the ashes of King Taksin and his family members. This site serves as an important location for honoring his memory.
