Wat Phrommarangsi, Buddhist temple in Don Mueang, Thailand

The temple complex spreads across 30 rai of land, featuring an 8-meter wide and 24-meter long ubosot with teak wood carvings depicting Buddha's life.

Established in 1825, Wat Phrommarangsi received royal endorsement in 1980 and houses the Phra Phut, a partially buried Buddha statue central to local traditions.

The temple walls display detailed murals illustrating Buddhist narratives, including the Ten Birth Stories and other significant moments from Buddha's teachings.

The temple maintains a two-story concrete sala measuring 16 by 52 meters that serves as an educational facility and community gathering space.

Local legends tell of wasps and hornets protecting the Phra Phut statue during numerous attempts to excavate it, including during the Burmese invasion of 1785.
