Wat Lakhon Tham, Buddhist temple in Ban Chang Lo, Thailand
Wat Lakhon Tham is a Buddhist temple in Ban Chang Lo featuring classical Thai architectural design with golden ornamentation throughout. The compound contains multiple prayer halls and a main ordination hall used for ceremonies, all arranged around peaceful courtyard spaces.
The temple was founded in 1851 during the reign of King Rama II as a religious center for the area. Over time it became an established gathering place for Buddhist devotion and ceremonies in the community.
The temple serves as a gathering place where the local community comes together for prayer and Buddhist observances. Visitors can observe everyday spiritual practices that shape the rhythm of neighborhood life.
The grounds are open to visitors throughout the day with parking available and clear signage from the street. Respectful dress and quiet behavior are expected, especially inside the prayer halls and around active worship areas.
The compound shelters ancient Bodhi trees that serve as gathering spots for monks and practitioners to meditate today. These old trees hold equal spiritual importance to the temple buildings themselves for those who practice here.
