Wat Pho Kao Ton

The temple features a sacred pond surrounded by concrete barriers and traditional Thai architectural elements that reflect regional religious design patterns.

The temple played a crucial role during the Burmese invasion in 1766, providing water for amulets used by Bang Rachan fighters in their resistance.

Local residents regularly participate in water-pouring rituals at the temple's holy pond, which has been used in royal ceremonies including coronation events.

Visitors can observe daily Buddhist practices, participate in water blessing ceremonies, or hire local guides to carry water from the sacred pond.

The temple contains a statue of Phra Achan Thammachot, where young men traditionally pray in April to avoid military draft selection.
