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

Wat Bang Khun Thian Nok is a Buddhist temple in Chom Thong District, Bangkok, featuring an ordination hall with Chinese architectural style and porcelain floral designs on the gable ends. Four stupas are positioned around the grounds at cardinal points.

Originally known as Wat Yommalok, the temple was founded in 1703 by Buddhist devotees. It received its current name following World War II.

The temple serves as a gathering place where locals come together for religious festivals and community activities. It remains an important part of neighborhood life and spiritual practice.

The temple grounds are easy to walk through, with open spaces between the stupas for navigation. Visitors should dress respectfully and follow local customs when entering sacred areas.

Inside the ordination hall stands a principal Buddha image in Sukhothai style seated in meditation, surrounded by fifteen smaller Buddha figures. This arrangement reflects the temple's artistic traditions and devotional practices.
