Wat Bang Kradi

Wat Bang Kradi stands along the Sanam Chai canal, featuring traditional Thai architectural elements with multiple halls and ceremonial spaces.

The temple, established in 1877, served as a spiritual center for the Mon people who settled along the canal during King Rama IV's reign.

Local residents maintain their Mon heritage by wearing traditional costumes during Buddhist ceremonies and speaking the Mon language during religious services.

The temple is located 3.7 kilometers from Rama II Road at marker number 35 in Bangkok's Bang Khunthian district.

The temple follows a distinct alms-giving practice called tak bat kaeng ruam, where different foods are combined in ceramic bowls before serving to monks.
