Wat Samma Chanyawat is a Buddhist temple in Bangkok with a two-story ordination hall decorated with glazed ceramic tiles and featuring Thai and Khmer architectural styles. The grounds include various religious structures designed for daily worship and community activities.
The temple was founded in 1973 when community leaders Nim Ketthiran and Muan Nanwichai donated six rai of land. This establishment marked the beginning of a religious center that has served the area ever since.
The temple serves as a gathering place where the community comes together for meditation and religious ceremonies. These shared practices create bonds among local residents and provide space for spiritual reflection.
Visitors can participate in daily ceremonies at 11:30 AM, which include offering meals to monks and merit-making activities. It is helpful to familiarize yourself with local customs and wear comfortable clothing when visiting this sacred space respectfully.
The grounds feature a dedicated space for fish releasing rituals where visitors can participate in a traditional practice. A coffee pavilion provides refreshments and creates a quiet spot to rest after exploring the temple.
