Wat Nak Prok, Buddhist temple in Phasi Charoen District, Bangkok, Thailand

The temple features a vihara housing a bronze Buddha image under a seven-headed Naga statue made of mortar at coordinates 13.717222, 100.466389.

A Chinese merchant named Phuk from Talat Phlu area constructed the temple in 1748, dedicating the vihara to his Thai wife and the ubosot to himself.

The temple maintains regular Buddhist ceremonies where monks and local community members gather to practice traditional religious customs and meditation sessions.

Visitors need to remove shoes before entering temple buildings and should wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees according to Buddhist temple etiquette.

The Fine Arts Department of Thailand registered this temple as a national ancient monument in 1977, preserving its Ayutthaya-period architectural elements.
