Description: |
|
This third-class royal monastery is located opposite Ang Thong
City Hall. At first, there were two small temples located next
to each other, called Wat Pho Ngoen and Wat Pho Thong, both
constructed during the reign of King Rama IV. Later in 1900,
King Rama V had the temples combined into one and graciously
named it Wat Ang Thong. The temple is famed for its beautiful
Ubosot (ordination hall) and bell-shaped Chedi (or stupa),which
is decorated with gold mirrors. Teak compartments, lying neatly
in stacks, originate from the early Rattanakosin period. Wat
Ang Thong Worawihan is located on the east bank of the river, at
1 Tambon Bang Kaeo, Amphoe Mueang. The temple is open daily
from 8.00 am-5.00 pm. |
