Wat Laem Suwannaram, Buddhist temple in Tha Chalom, Thailand

The temple features a wooden ordination hall with 18 Buddha statues along its outer walls and Chinese porcelain tiles covering the floor.

Established in 1826 during King Rama III's reign, the temple was initially named Wat Hua Ban before becoming Wat Laem Suwannaram.

The temple incorporates both Thai and Chinese architectural elements, visible in the dragon motifs, serpent designs, and carved wooden structures.

Located near Ban Laem railway station, the temple maintains free entry and stands adjacent to the Tha Chin River and Tawai Road.

The temple doors contain an internal locking mechanism designed by Chinese craftsmen from Hainan, demonstrating exceptional engineering skills.
