Surprising statues of Wat Khun Chan

This absolutely amazing temple is located in Bangkok next to a huge Buddha statue. The name of this temple is Wat Khun Chan and the most interesting thing that is next to this temple is very strange and funny bright figures. Here you can see incredible animals from Thai culture, strange people whose body is split in half and many other strange but very interesting details. I recommend to visit! #myperfectstaycation #bangkok #thailand #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer

Wat Khun Chan (Wat Waramartaya Punthasatharam)

Wat Khun Chan This temple is considered an ancient temple that has been on the Thonburi side and Talat Phlu area for more than a hundred years. It was built around 1827-1837 during the reign of King Rama III, approximately 177 years old, by Phraya Maha Amatayathibodi (Pom Amatayakul). At that time, it was named “Wat Khun Chan” because the builder of this temple was victorious from Vientiane. Then, during the reign of King Rama V, it was renovated and renamed by King Rama V, “Wat Waramatyaphanthasararam”. Most of the architecture of Wat Khun Chan is a beautiful blend of Thai and Burmese art. There are many sacred objects to worship, such as Luang Pho To, Luang Pho Yok Khao, Kuan Im Petch Ngam, the reclining Buddha, Phra Buddha Chinnarat, etc. But the most outstanding thing is probably Phra Rahu. This is because there is a ceremony to ward off bad luck for the unlucky year and to worship Phra Rahu. There is a ceremony to chant the Navagraha Rahu prayer every year. It can be said that it is one of the famous temples on the list related to Phra Rahu. Anyone who wants to pay homage to Phra Rahu or ward off bad luck or bad luck must travel to Wat Khun Chan.
