Nang Chi Chotikaram Temple

Wat Nang Chi Chotikaram, Bangkok 🙏 It is one of the beautiful temples on the Thonburi side with a long history. It is assumed that the temple was built in the middle of the Ayutthaya period. According to legend, Mae Im, the daughter of Chao Phraya Phichitchaimontri, fell ill for no reason. Chao Phraya Phichitchaimontri dreamed of a white-robed nun who told him to make a vow that if his daughter became a nun, she would be cured. When Mae Im recovered, he fulfilled his vow by having his daughter become a nun and built this temple. The architecture of Wat Nang Chi is a mix of Thai and Chinese styles. 💐 The roof of the chapel has no gable, raka leaves, and swan's tail. Inside, there is a principal Buddha image in the Samadhi posture (Luang Pho 4 Directions) surrounded by many other Buddha images in various postures.
