Wat Chaeng Worawihan, Buddhist temple in Tha Wang, Thailand.

The temple features a central prang adorned with porcelain shards and shells, creating detailed patterns across the exterior surfaces of the structure.

The temple, established during the Ayutthaya Kingdom, housed the Emerald Buddha before its transfer to Wat Phra Kaew in 1785.

The temple maintains regular Buddhist ceremonies where monks lead prayers and meditation sessions, following ancient traditions of Thai Buddhist practice.

Foreign visitors can access the temple via ferry services from multiple piers, with an entrance fee of 200 baht as of March 2024.

The temple's prang displays a seven-pronged trident at its peak, representing different elements of Buddhist cosmology in its architectural design.
