Description: |
|
Established during the reign of King Barommagot of Ayutthaya and
located in TambonChalo, this temple was constructed in the
distinctive style of a traditional European merchant ship. Many
lives had been lost as ships foundered in the nearby river, and
local belief dictated that, as a result, a temple should be
constructed like a boat to bring back good fortune.
Although abandoned for many years, monks finally took up
residence in the temple again during King Rama the III or IV’s
reign. The temple is famed for having the largest swan boat
chapel in the world.
The temple is open daily from 8.00
am-5.00 pm. |
