Samut Songkhram - Wat Chula Mani - LP Idd

Wat Chula Mani sits on the bank of the Amphawa canal and is only 2 km. way from Amphawa District. Formerly named “Wat Maeya Thip”, the temple was built in the reign of King Prasat Thong of Ayutthaya.

According to history, Thao Kaeophaluek (Noi), Mistress of the Bang Chang Market, built this temple. Not far from the back the temple was initially the residence of Than Thong and Than San, who were parents of Khun Nak (Queen Ammarinthramat of King Rama I). Later, the residence was burnt down and the family moved to build a new house in the compound of Wat Amphawan Chetiyaram.

Originally the assembly hall of Wat Chula Mani was made of teak wood and hard wood. In 1968, Phra Khru Kowit Samutthakhun or Luang Pho Nueang Kowitho re-built the building to replace the ruined one. After the monk had passed away in 1987, Phra Khru Sophitwiriyaphon or Ittha Phatthangcharo who was his disciple continued his work and completed the re-building process.
