Wat Bang Phra, Buddhist temple in Bang Kaeo Fa, Thailand
Wat Bang Phra features traditional Thai architectural elements with decorated pillars, multi-tiered roofs, and ornate religious sculptures throughout its grounds.
The temple secured its position as a registered Thai historic site due to its enduring role in preserving Buddhist traditions and architectural heritage.
Buddhist monks at Wat Bang Phra maintain the ancient practice of Sak Yant tattooing, creating sacred geometric patterns and scripts on devotees' skin.
Visitors must wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees, remove shoes before entering temple buildings, and refrain from pointing feet toward Buddha statues.
The temple holds annual Wai Kru festivals where thousands gather to receive blessings, during which some participants enter trance-like states mimicking animal movements.
