Pay respects and make wishes to Luang Pho Dam and Luang Pho Phet.

🏡 Wat Phra Phiren is believed to have been built during the Ayutthaya period around 1836. Later, King Rama III ordered the construction and restoration of temples throughout the capital. Phra Phirentrathep (Kham Na Ratchasima) restored this temple, and King Rama III named it Wat Kham Khemkaram, but it is commonly known as Wat Phra Phiren. 🏠 Later, King Rama IV changed the name to Wat Kham Korat because Phra Phirentrathep became Phraya Nakhon Ratchasima. 🙏 During the reign of King Rama V, the name was changed to Wat Phra Phiren. 🧱 This temple was registered as an ancient monument by the Fine Arts Department in 2023.
