Wat Sala Kun

Wat Sala Kun is a Buddhist temple located on Ko Kret island, designed according to traditional Thai architectural principles. The grounds contain multiple buildings with characteristic features such as pointed roofs, decorated columns, and open meditation areas.

The temple traces its roots to ancient Buddhist traditions of the Siamese kingdom and evolved over many centuries. Its architecture reflects the religious and artistic influences that shaped Buddhist practice in this region.

The temple serves as a daily gathering place where monks conduct ceremonies and the local community comes together for spiritual observance. The open pavilions and courtyards show how religious practice naturally weaves into the island's everyday life.

Visitors should wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees, and remove shoes before entering prayer halls. Be respectful and follow any indicated routes, especially when ceremonies are taking place.

The grounds offer views across the Chao Phraya River and contain quiet corners that visitors often overlook. These peaceful areas can be easily missed but shape the overall experience of the place in subtle ways.
