Wat Klang Kret, Buddhist temple in Bang Talat, Thailand

Wat Klang Kret stands near the Chao Phraya River, featuring traditional Thai architecture with intricate decorations and multiple Buddha statues throughout its grounds.

The temple's construction dates back to the Ayutthaya period, when Bang Talat served as a fortress town protecting the approaches to Bangkok.

The temple walls display modern Thai-style murals depicting scenes from Buddha's life and the maritime trade activities of the local community.

Visitors can reach the temple via local transportation from central Bangkok, with the journey from Don Mueang Airport taking approximately 27 minutes by car.

Local villagers funded the restoration of the temple's ubosot, which houses an Ayutthaya-style Buddha statue and connects to a pottery-making community.
