Wat Sali Kho Phitaram

Wat Sali Kho Phitaram is a Buddhist temple in Bang Phlap located near the Chao Phraya River, with a main ordination hall displaying a principal Buddha image in the Mara Vijaya posture. The temple complex features traditional Thai architectural elements centered around this important prayer space.

The temple dates to the Ayutthaya period and was restored in 1856 under King Mongkut's reign following its abandonment during the 1767 Burmese invasion. This revival brought the place back into use after decades of disrepair.

Two sisters donated land for the temple following a successful rice harvest, which inspired its name meaning temple with abundant rice. This gift connects the place to the farming traditions and generosity of local people from earlier times.

The temple sits in a rural location in Nonthaburi Province surrounded by farming areas, making it a quiet place to visit away from city noise. Early morning hours are best for experiencing the space when monks are present and fewer visitors arrive.

The temple houses a collection of religious artifacts including bronze statues of revered spiritual figures and a series of Phra Buddha Chin Rat images. This assembly of pieces makes it a repository for historical Buddhist artworks that are difficult to find elsewhere.
