Wat of Chao Phraya Bodindecha.

🏕 Wat Thepleela, a third-class royal temple, was originally named Wat Tuek. According to history, King Rama III ordered Chao Phraya Bodindecha (Sing Singhaseni) to lead an army to suppress the Vietnamese and Khmer. Upon returning, they rested by the Saen Saep Canal (the current location of Wat Thepleela). 🏞 The generals, officers, and soldiers bathed in the canal. One soldier found a 1.20-meter-tall Sukhothai-style Buddha statue in the walking posture and presented it to Chao Phraya Bodindecha. 🙏 Later, he built a temple and enshrined this Buddha statue as the principal Buddha image in the ordination hall, naming the temple Wat Thepleela. ♨️ Wat Thepleela: 48 Ramkhamhaeng 39 Road, Hua Mak Subdistrict, Bang Kapi District, Bangkok 🎯 Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/CWGVaxgZEajqtMz57 🕕 Opening hours: 06:00 - 18:00
