Wat Rai Khing, Buddhist temple in Sam Phran district, Nakhon Pathom, Thailand.

The temple complex extends along the Tha Chin River, featuring traditional Thai architecture with multiple halls and ceremonial structures.

Established in 1791 during King Rama IV's reign, the temple received its name from Somdej Phra Phuttha Chan, who named it after the local district.

The main Buddha image, depicted in the Subduing Mara posture, follows Chiang Saen craftsmanship from Lanna Thai and Lan Xang artistic traditions.

Visitors reach the temple through Petchkasem Road, with food stalls operating on weekends and a dedicated area for feeding fish in the sanctuary.

The temple maintains a natural fish sanctuary where large populations of iridescent sharks and black-spotted catfish gather near the riverbank.
