Wat Bang Oi Chang

Wat Bang Oi Chang stands along Khlong Bangkok Noi with multiple halls decorated with traditional Thai architectural elements and Buddha statues inside its grounds.

Constructed in 1761, the temple supplied sugar canes to royal elephants and provided bark from wodier trees to protect battle elephants during the Ayutthaya period.

The temple preserves numerous artifacts in its museum, including bronze Buddha footprints, wooden Tripiṭaka cabinets, and traditional items from past centuries.

Visitors can access the temple grounds daily to observe religious ceremonies, study Buddhist teachings, and explore the museum collection of historical artifacts.

The temple houses the Phra Si Satsada Buddha statue, which remained at its original location after King Mongkut declined its transfer to Wat Pradu Chimphli.
