Wat Bang Phra, Buddhist temple in Bang Kaeo Fa, Thailand

Wat Bang Phra is a Buddhist temple in Bang Kaeo Fa, Thailand, featuring multi-tiered roofs and decorated pillars. Religious sculptures stand throughout the temple grounds, complementing the traditional architectural elements.

The temple earned recognition as a registered Thai historic site for preserving Buddhist traditions. This designation reinforced its importance as a place of religious continuity.

Monks continue the practice of Sak Yant here, a form of sacred tattooing using geometric designs and traditional script. Devotees travel from far away to receive these markings, which are believed to offer protection and spiritual power.

Visitors should wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees, and remove shoes before entering temple buildings. Pointing feet toward Buddha statues is considered disrespectful.

Annual Wai Kru festivals draw thousands who receive blessings and sometimes fall into trance-like states. During these moments, some participants mimic animal movements, showing the spiritual intensity of the ceremony.
