Pay homage and make wishes to Luang Pho U Thong and Luang Pho Sukhothai.

🏕 Wat Thammaphirataram was built around 1757. Originally named Wat Song Phi Nong, it is believed that two siblings built this temple together. Later, it was renamed Wat Si Yaek because it was located at the intersection of Khlong Bang Sue and Khlong Prem Prachakorn. During the reign of King Rama V, he saw a bridge crossing the canal and remarked that the temple had a high bridge as a landmark, so it should be named Wat Saphan Sung. In 1939, it was renamed Wat Thammaphirataram. The important and interesting features within the temple are as follows: 🏠 The Ubosot (ordination hall) features late Ayutthaya period art. It is a Maha-Ut style ordination hall with brick and plaster door arches and a Chinese-style roof. Inside, the principal Buddha image, Luang Pho Sukhothai, is enshrined. It is a gilded lacquered Buddha image in the Mara Vichaya posture from the Sukhothai period. 🏕 The Vihara (assembly hall) houses Luang Pho U Thong, a large sandstone Buddha image in the meditation posture from the U Thong period, gilded with lacquer. 🛕 The twelve-cornered chedi or decorated chedi. 🛕 The old bell tower, a two-story square brick and plaster building with a kite-shaped tiled roof. â™Ļïļ Wat Thammaphirataram: 170 Techawanit Road, Nakhon Chai Si Road Subdistrict, Dusit District, Bangkok. ðŸŽŊ Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/YLLmuRK4RaA7B79d9 🕚 Opening hours: 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM.
