Wat Thong Nopphakhun Temple

Wat Thong Nopphakhun Temple is an old Buddhist temple built in a unique Bangkok style. It is located two hundred meters from the Chao Phraya River. The temple was built during the time of Ayutthaya. More accurate records of its construction have not been preserved. Over time, the temple complex fell into decline. It was restored by the Chinese nobleman Phraya Chodokratchasetthi. Wat Thong Nopphakhun Temple was named the royal temple of Rama III.

In the main building of the temple there is a sculpture of Buddha and the walls are painted with frescoes. But still its main “highlight” are unusual carved windows of various shapes and sizes, which are not found anywhere else in the world.
