Wat Lat Pla Khao

Wat Lat Pla Khao, Buddhist temple in Chorakhe Bua, Thailand.

Description

Wat Lat Pla Khao is a Buddhist temple in Chorakhe Bua with multiple buildings arranged across its grounds in traditional Thai style. The structures feature peaked roofs, ornamental details, and elements that reflect local architectural customs.

History

The temple was established in this Bangkok district and takes its name from the wallago sheatfish that once populated the local waterways. The presence of these fish shaped how the community developed over time.

Culture

The temple serves as a gathering place where locals practice meditation and perform Buddhist rituals that mark important moments in their year. The sound of bells and smell of incense become part of the everyday experience for those who visit.

Practical

The temple sits near the Lat Pla Khao MRT station, which offers easy access to other parts of the city. Wear comfortable shoes since the grounds have several pathways to explore.

Did you know?

The grounds hold traces of the area's past connection to the fish trade that once shaped the neighborhood. Some architectural and spatial features quietly remind visitors of when waterways served as trade routes.
