Wat Samian Nari, Buddhist temple in Lat Yao district, Bangkok, Thailand

The temple complex spans 7.11 acres along Vibhavadi Rangsit Road, featuring traditional Thai architecture with gilded decorations and stucco ornaments throughout its structures.

Originally named Wat Khae Rai in 1857, the temple received its current name in 1979 to honor Samian Kham, a female clerk who funded its restoration in 1877.

The main hall houses the Principal Buddha image, Phra Sakkaya Buddhawongmuni, and contains detailed wall murals depicting Buddhist teachings and traditional Thai artistry.

Visitors can reach the temple through the Wat Samian Nari Station on the SRT Dark Red Line, which opened in 2021 directly in front of the complex.

The temple's viharn features a distinctive design with a divided interior and a tunnel-like passage that guides worshippers in a specific path around the altar.
