Worship Luang Por Dam and Luang Por Thanjai at Wat Wijit Karnimit

🏡 Wat Wijit Karnimit, originally named Wat Nang Bang Waek, was built in 1775 during the Thonburi era. The name of the founder is unknown. The temple features a square-based prang and another square-shaped prang. During the reign of King Rama V, the temple underwent restoration and additional prangs were constructed. The name was later changed from Wat Nang Bang Waek to Wat Wijit Karnimit in 1969 to avoid confusion with another temple of the same name.
