Wat Pak Khlong Makham Thao

Wat Pak Khlong Makham Thao stands along the banks of the Makham Thao Canal, featuring traditional Thai architecture with an ordination hall decorated with ancient Khmer script murals and wax figures of revered monks.

Established around 1889 during the early Rattanakosin period, this temple was originally known as Wat U Thong Pak Khlong Makham Thao and served as a spiritual center for the local riverside community.

The temple houses wall paintings depicting Prince Chumphon Khet Udomsak and displays artifacts related to Luang Pu Suk, a famous monk whose amulets are highly revered for their protective powers and blessings.

The temple welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and can be reached via Highway 3183 or Highway 1 from Chainat city center with clear directional signs throughout the route.

This registered Thai historic site preserves ancient tamarind trees that gave the area its name and maintains a collection of sacred objects including wax sculptures of renowned Buddhist masters.
