Wat Kaeo Phaithun, Buddhist temple in Bang Khun Thian, Thailand

The temple complex features traditional Thai architectural elements with detailed wood carvings throughout its prayer halls and ceremonial buildings.

Originally established as Wat Bang Prathun Nai in 1847, the temple received its current name during the reign of King Rama IV.

The monastery pavilion contains intricate wood carvings depicting the Phra Wisatchanu Jataka, recognized by the Fine Arts Department as a valuable artifact.

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

The temple preserves a collection of traditional wood carvings that showcase the craftsmanship techniques of early Rattanakosin period artisans.
