Wat Tuek

Wat Tuek is a Buddhist temple in Tha Wasukri featuring a small mandapa with three brick walls and a covered porch facing east. Inside, a seated Buddha statue made of laterite sits amid several matching stone pillars that support the structure.

The temple underwent restoration work by the Fine Arts Department between 1970 and 1971. This preservation effort protected its architectural elements and religious artifacts during a period of institutional care.

The wall reliefs here show scenes from Buddha's life in traditional Thai artistic style. These carvings reveal how local people understood and expressed their Buddhist beliefs through art.

The site is located roughly 400 meters west of the O Gate and welcomes visitors who want to explore the grounds. Walking around the temple allows you to view the structures and gain a sense of the place at your own pace.

The laterite Buddha statue and surrounding pillars are carved from the same stone material, creating a unified visual composition. This consistent use of stone creates a harmonious appearance that ties together the entire interior space.
