Bangkok - Wat Khrueawan



Built in the Ayutthaya period, this temple was restored by Phra Abhaibhuthorn and his daughter Chaochom Khrueawan, the Royal consort of King Rama III. They presented it to the King, who designated it a Royal temple and named it Wat Khrueawan.

Ubosot: The pediments of the ubosot are decorated with stucco in the floral style. The gilded and painted window and door panels stucco. The murals painted in during the reign of King Rama III period depict former incarnations of the Lord Buddha. The principal Buddha image resembles Pra Luangroatjanarit in the Treat Pagoda.  Source from http://www.tripsthailand.com/
