Wat Anongkharam, Buddhist temple in Somdet Chao Phraya, Thailand

The temple features a principal golden Buddha image named Phra Chunlanak, created in Sukhothai style and brought from Sukhothai province in 1949.

Established in 1850 by Than Phuying Noi, the temple was initially named Wat Noi Kham Thaem before King Mongkut renamed it to Wat Anongkharam Woravihara.

The temple grounds include monk dwellings, multiple Buddha statues, and a local museum displaying artifacts from Bangkok's Khlong San district.

The temple opens its special collection of Buddhist artifacts for public viewing during Buddhist Lent Day and New Year celebrations.

This temple holds special significance as the childhood home of Princess Srinagarindra, mother of Thailand's King Rama VIII and King Rama IX.
