Wat That Thong, Buddhist temple in Phra Khanong Nuea, Thailand

The temple stands next to Ekkamai BTS station on Sukhumvit Road, featuring a large pagoda that houses sacred Buddhist relics.

The temple originated from the merger of two ancient temples, Wat Na Phra That and Wat Thong Lang, relocated in 1937 for Bangkok Port construction.

The temple received royal patronage in 2007 from Princess Galyani Vadhana, who granted the temple a new official emblem and special status.

The temple complex includes a main hall measuring 24 meters in length, housing a significant Buddha statue with a lap width of 70 inches.

The temple grounds contain an ordination hall from 1947 and Limpaporn Vihara from 1971, displaying traditional Thai Buddhist architecture.
