Wat Dan Samrong

Wat Dan Samrong features a main hall with traditional Thai architectural elements, including multiple-tiered roofs and ornate decorative details throughout the structure.

The temple, originally named Wat Phlapphla Chai Chana Songkhram, holds historical importance from the middle Ayutthaya period and marks King Naresuan's victory against Burmese forces.

The Luang Pho To Buddha statue within the temple stands as one of Thailand's most venerated Buddhist figures, drawing followers from across the region.

Visitors can reach the temple using the BTS Skytrain to Samrong Station, followed by a short taxi ride through the Samrong Nuea neighborhood.

Local records tell of the Luang Pho To statue being discovered by brothers in the Khlong Samrong canal during their escape from warfare.
