Wat Tha Khanun, Buddhist temple in Tha Khanun, Thailand
The temple stands on a mountain summit accessible by a 285-step staircase, featuring a golden stupa that overlooks the Khwae Noi River below.
The temple location held strategic importance during the Burmese-Siamese War of 1786 when King Rama I positioned his troops in the area.
The temple serves as a central point for Buddhist ceremonies and religious practices, maintaining traditional customs through regular community gatherings.
Visitors can reach the temple grounds through a southern entrance, with designated parking areas and rest facilities available at different elevation points.
The temple structure incorporates architectural elements that frame panoramic views of the surrounding Kanchanaburi Province and the river valley.
