Wat Bang Phra

Wat Bang Phra

Bang Kaew Fah Subdistrict Nakhon Chai Si District

Wat Bang Phra is an old temple. When was it built? There is no recorded evidence. But it is assumed that it was built in the middle of the Ayutthaya period (around 2220 B.E.) based on archaeological evidence, namely the old Ubosot. with structures and murals that indicates that it was an art at that time together with archaeological excavations by the Fine Arts Office 2, Suphanburi, Fine Arts Department, to study the pattern and guidelines for the restoration since September 2004, completed in May 2006, resulting in new information on archaeology about the history of Wat Bang Phra. According to archaeological evidence, it is known that The old ubosot was in the Ayutthaya period only. It is impossible to know who built it and what is its history. But just this makes me understand that Wat Bang Phra is an old temple with a history of more than 330 years. And the Bang Phra Temple itself has always been well patronized by the villagers. At the same time, the old ubosot is small and cramped. Monks are unable to perform Sangha Meditation with ease. Because there were many believers in Buddhism and asked for ordination in large numbers, so Abbot Him Inthachoto, the abbot of Wat Bang Phra at that time persuaded the monks and villagers together to carry out the construction of a new ubosot by hauling wood around the temple (it is said that in those days the area around Wat Bang Phra is still very fertile forest) to build a large wooden chapel One of the Khun Nam Nakhon Chai Si neighborhood. The construction was completed in 1927 during the reign of Phra Udom Prachanat (Pern Thitkuno) as the abbot of Wat Bang Phra. He has developed Wat Bang Phra until it has progressively prospered. in which he has restored the new ubosot Because the new ubosot is built entirely of wood. therefore dilapidated over time In which he has restored the new ubosot to be concrete, in addition to restoring and constructing various permanent objects to be many treasures in Buddhism Until his life later, Phrakru Anukul Phisankij (Sam-ang Paphassaro), the current abbot followed in the footsteps of the former abbot of Wat Bang Phra In 2006, in collaboration with the Fine Arts Department, the temple was restored until it is in good condition until now.
