Wat Salak Nuea

Wat Salak Nuea encompasses multiple buildings with traditional Thai architectural features, including an ordination hall and residential quarters for monks at coordinates 13.9425, 100.530556.

The temple dates back to the Ayutthaya period, with subsequent renovations led by Phra Khru Wihan Kitjanukarn who discovered ancient Ayutthaya-era stupas on the grounds.

The temple functions as a central gathering point for the local community, hosting regular Buddhist ceremonies, meditation sessions, and religious education programs throughout the year.

Visitors to Wat Salak Nuea must wear modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees, and remove shoes before entering any temple buildings.

The temple received its official Visungkhamasima designation on November 10, 1972, granting it the authority to conduct formal Buddhist ordination ceremonies.
