Wat Bang Khun Thian Nok, Buddhist temple in Chom Thong District, Bangkok, Thailand

The ordination hall of Wat Bang Khun Thian Nok features Chinese architectural elements with porcelain floral designs adorning the gable ends.

Originally named Wat Yommalok, the temple was constructed in 1703 by Buddhist devotees and received its current name after World War II.

The temple hosts traditional ceremonies throughout the year, including Loy Krathong celebrations and Songkran festivities that bring the community together.

The temple grounds contain four chedis positioned at cardinal points around the ordination hall, with a consecrated boundary measuring 16 by 21 meters.

Inside the ordination hall stands a Sukhothai-style principal Buddha image in meditation posture, accompanied by fifteen smaller Buddha figures.
