Wat Phanom Yong, Buddhist temple in Tha Wasukri, Thailand

Located on the north bank of Khlong Mueang, Wat Phanom Yong features a double-tiered roof ordination hall with an elevated porch supported by four columns.

The temple, constructed during King Narai's reign from 1656 to 1688, underwent restoration by King Chulalongkorn between 1868 and 1910 after falling into disrepair.

The temple's design combines architectural elements from late Ayutthaya and early Rattanakosin periods, with curved base structures and traditional wall enclosures separating sacred spaces.

The temple grounds contain a large reclining Buddha image housed within a dedicated vihara, offering visitors opportunities for religious observations and architectural study.

The temple received its name from Phrayong, a wet nurse to King Narai, who originally owned the garden where the temple now stands.
