riverside Buddha statue

#celebratewithtrip this is such a beautiful waterside temple with grand Buddha statue on elephants! In comparison to the famous temple next to this one, wat Kuhn chan is a lot quieter and calmer. Yet, this temple is really beautiful, there are lots of enormous statues and different types of building inside of this temple complex. it is really nice to walk around and chill by the riverside. it is also free of charge. we found by accident, and it is a great way to explore the way of local living, since it’s a remote area in Bangkok! and it’s not really popular among tourist, so I recommend everyone to pay for a visit next time

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.
