#VisitSecondaryCity 🏡 Wat Nantaram It is not known when it was built. It was originally called Jong Man or Jong Kha because it was thatched with cogon grass (Jong means temple). Later, the temple lacked caretakers until in 1924, Father Tak Jong Nanta (Wu) Wong-anan, a Pa-O (Tong Su) wealthy person, invited the villagers to join in renovating the temple. 🏘When someone donated land to the temple, Father built the current temple by hiring Burmese craftsmen to design and construct it. To commemorate Father Tak, the temple's name was changed to Wat Nantaram. Important and interesting things in the temple include: 🏠 The temple is made entirely of wood. The architectural style is lower Burmese. The gable roof is beautifully tiered. The ceiling is decorated with intricately patterned stained glass. 🙏 Inside the temple is the Phra Phuttha Metta, the principal Buddha image in the Mara-Vijaya attitude, dressed in Mandalay style, carved from large golden teakwood.
