Wat Wiset Kan, Buddhist temple in Siri Rat, Thailand

The temple features multiple halls with thick wooden doors, decorated with floral patterns and traditional Chinese architectural elements without typical roof finials.

Established around 1850, the temple was initially named Wat Wiset Awat by a government official named Rak during the reign of King Rama III.

The main Buddha statue in the ordination hall, measuring three cubits wide, represents the Chiang Saen style and originates from Wat Pho temple.

Located at 42 Wang Lang Road in Bangkok's Siri Rat district, the temple maintains regular opening hours for visitors interested in Buddhist architecture.

The temple walls incorporate Chinese porcelain bowls as decorative elements, while thick brick walls support the structure's distinct architectural style.
