Wat Choeng Tha, Buddhist temple in Tha Hin, Thailand
The temple features a Khmer-style prang with niches in cardinal directions, containing remnants of standing Buddha images and several small chedis around the site.
During King Narai's reign from 1656 to 1688, the temple changed its name from Wat Klang to Wat Kosawat following restoration by Chao Phraya Kosa Pan.
The temple's southern orientation toward the old Lopburi River deviates from traditional eastern temple alignments associated with sunrise and male energy.
Excavations in 2020 revealed brick slopes at the riverbank, indicating the presence of historic boat landings used for transportation between the temple and Grand Palace.
King Taksin, known as Nai Sin during his youth, studied at this temple as a novice monk and received punishment for setting up a gambling den.
