Wat Pho Bang Khla

Pracha Neramit, Bang Khla Subdistrict, Bang Khla District.

Within the temple, there stands a bell-shaped stupa adorned with vibrant yellow, blue, and white glass, creating a stunning and unique visual appeal. Visitors to this temple are treated to the sight of the world's largest species of fruit bat, roosting among the trees at Wat Pho Bangkla. This ancient temple is believed to have been established around 1767-1782 during the reign of King Taksin the Great. The architectural style of the vihara exhibits a blend of Ayutthaya and early Rattanakosin influences. It features a brick and plaster structure with a gabled roof covered in turtle shell-shaped tiles, and inside rests the revered reclining Buddha statue, a focal point for worshipers. Additionally, those exploring the Bang Pakong River by boat can conveniently stop by this temple, with a pier located at its grounds. Wat Pho Bangkla has undergone several renovations over the years, but each restoration has been carried out with an emphasis on preserving its traditional artistic heritage. This ensures that future generations can appreciate and learn from the cultural legacy it holds.
