Samut Songkhram - Wat Bang Khae Noi

The most interesting item is the ordination hall’s interior walls which are woodcarvings depicting the Lord Buddha’s history, birth, enlightenment, and nirvana, as well as stories of the Lord Buddha’s Ten Incarnations or Jatakas.


Recommendation ****




























Samut Songkhram - Wat Bang KaPom - LP Kong

The old Wihan (image hall) is very interesting. In the centre of the hall, a large replica of four superimposed Buddha footprints in different sizes is enshrined. The footprint at the deepest level, which is made from mother-of-pearl inlaid wood, still retains its beautiful design.
