Wat Bang Chalong Nai, Buddhist temple in Bang Chalong, Thailand.
Wat Bang Chalong Nai is a Buddhist temple in Bang Chalong, Thailand, standing on a square island surrounded by waterways. The grounds display traditional Thai architecture with ornate decorations, multiple Buddha images, and a peaceful layout across the entire complex.
The temple was founded in the late Ayutthaya period around 1758 under the original name Wat Koh Kaew Sawang Arom. It later received its current name reflecting changes in local nomenclature over the centuries.
The temple houses two principal Buddha images in meditation posture that hold deep spiritual significance for local devotees. These statues form the focal point of daily worship and contemplation at the site.
The temple sits near the Bang Na-Trad Road and offers ample parking for vehicles and tour coaches. Visitors can navigate the grounds easily on foot and spend time exploring the different areas at a comfortable pace.
The temple sits on land bordered by four canals that create a natural water boundary. This water system reflects how ancient Thai builders carefully planned the placement of sacred spaces.
