Inside the chapel, Wat Pa Mok Worawihan, Ang Thong Province

Wat Pa Mok Worawihan is an ancient temple from the Sukhothai period. It was originally two adjacent temples, "Wat Chee Phakhao" and "Wat Talat". However, due to the currents of the water eroding the temple, they had to be combined into one temple. King Sanphet III ordered Phraya Ratchasongkhram to slow down and drag it away from the original river. (King Taisara) came to supervise the slowing down of the Buddha statue to avoid the currents of the riverbank erosion. He moved the Buddha statue to the new temple at Wat Talat, 168 meters from the riverbank. He then ordered Wat Talat and Wat Chee Phakhao to be combined into one temple and named it Wat Pa Mok because there were many jasmine trees in that area. The Royal Chronicles state that before King Naresuan the Great led his army to fight the Crown Prince, he came to gather his troops and pay homage to this reclining Buddha statue.
