Wat Prasoet Sutthawat

The temple features traditional Thai architecture with prominent Chinese influences, particularly evident in the design of its ordination hall and surrounding structures.

Built in 1838 near Khlong Rat Burana canal, the temple was funded by a Chinese pig farmer who discovered three large jars filled with money.

The temple combines Thai Buddhist practices with Chinese artistic elements, demonstrated through murals depicting scenes from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Visitors must wear appropriate clothing covering shoulders and knees when entering the temple grounds, and remove shoes before entering the buildings.

The temple's ordination hall contains rare Chinese ink murals painted by the same artists who decorated the nearby Wat Ratcha-orasaram.
