Wat Chaloem Phra Kiat Worawihan, or simply known as Wat Chaloem Phra Kiat is a Thai temple in the area of Bang Si Mueang Subdistrict, Mueang Nonthaburi District, Nonthaburi Province on the Chao Phraya River, regarded as an ancient temple that is older than 160 years old.
This royal monastery in Soi Chalerm Phrakiat 15, built in 1847 by order of King Rama III, was dedicated to his majesty the king’s grandparents and mother. The Temple has completely reflected King Rama III’s most favorite style that combines chinese art in constructing the monastery. Therefore, the main shrine hall or Ubosot is decorated with beautiful stucco using chinese porcelains on the gable and door as well as window frames at the outside while gorgeous mural paintings ornament perfectly inside the edifice.
The temple’s biggest Buddha image made from Bronze named ‘Phraphuttamahalokaphinanthapatima’ is enshrined in the Ubosot.
I want to travel to Hong Kong to explore religious architecture there!
