Wat Dan Samrong, Buddhist temple in Samrong Nuea, Thailand
Wat Dan Samrong is a Buddhist temple in Samrong Nuea featuring a main hall with traditional Thai architectural elements, including steeply pitched roofs and decorative finials. The grounds contain several buildings and shrines arranged around a central courtyard.
The site has roots in the middle Ayutthaya period, when it was initially known by a different name. The temple's history reflects the conflicts and movements that shaped the region during that era.
The Luang Pho To Buddha statue draws followers who come to pay respects and make flower offerings at the shrine. You can see people engaged in quiet prayer throughout the temple grounds, making it an active place of worship.
The temple is easily reached by taking the BTS Skytrain to Samrong Station, with a short walk or brief taxi ride from there. Visitors should wear respectful clothing that covers shoulders and knees when entering the main buildings.
Local tradition holds that the Luang Pho To statue was discovered by brothers in the Khlong Samrong canal during a period of conflict and escape. This unusual origin story gives the statue special meaning for many who visit.
