Wat Chantawan Tok

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuckyDeals Wat Chan Ta Wan is a striking temple with stunning contemporary architecture ✨ Located on Sri Thammatraipidok Road on the west bank of the Nan River, it's a must-see landmark in Phitsanulok. Impressive Architecture What makes Wat Chan Ta Wan unique is that it's not an ancient temple like many other temples in the city. Instead, it's been rebuilt and renovated, combining traditional Thai and modern styles. 🕌 The most striking feature is the Mahavihara Somdej Ong Phatom, gleaming with gold from the top of the chedi down. ✨ This temple is built in a stunningly ornate style, featuring intricate stucco patterns.

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck Wat Chan Tawan Ok is located on Suphan Kanlaya Bridge in Mueang Phitsanulok District, Phitsanulok Province, opposite Wat Chan Tawan Ok, with the Nan River at its center. This ancient temple boasts exquisite architecture, highlighted by the golden Mahavihara Somdej Ong Phatom and the large standing Buddha image, Luang Pho Thong Lai Ma, enshrined in front. There's no definitive evidence of the exact year Wat Chan Tawan Ok was built, but it's assumed it was built concurrently with the founding of Phitsanulok. Originally known as Wat Rang Ngern, a fire destroyed the temple and surrounding houses around 1857. Following the fire, villagers sought to find land near the river to build a temple. Mr. Thet and Mrs. Thongkam, two devout villagers, donated 16 rai and 3 ngan of their land to build the temple, and renamed it Wat Chan, in honor of the Chan trees that grow around the temple.
