Wat Ang Kaeo, Buddhist temple in Bang Wa district, Bangkok, Thailand

Wat Ang Kaeo stands along Khlong Phasi Charoen canal, opposite Siam University, featuring traditional Thai architectural elements and detailed mural paintings inside.

The temple dates back to the Ayutthaya period and underwent significant renovations during the reigns of King Rama III and King Rama V.

The interior walls display intricate paintings depicting Buddha's life stories, including the scene of Māhāmāyā receiving her son in heaven.

The temple welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with a sand terrace that serves specific purposes during the Songkran festival.

The temple contains the only sand terrace in Bangkok and features murals illustrating traditional Thai idioms near the floor level of the main hall.
