Wat Bang Chak, Buddhist temple in Khlong Phra Udom, Thailand

The temple includes a main ordination hall featuring detailed murals depicting the previous lives of Buddha through the Mahanipata Jataka stories.

The temple structure dates from the late Ayutthaya period and underwent substantial renovations during the reigns of King Rama III and King Rama V.

Inside the temple, the principal Buddha image, Luang Pho Butsarakham, sits in the Māravijaya posture, representing traditional late Ayutthaya period artistry.

The temple grounds contain seven chedis with twelve-sided designs, with the primary chedi positioned south of the ordination hall along the temple wall.

The temple incorporates Chinese architectural elements that gained popularity during King Rama III's reign, visible in its decorative features and overall design.
