Description

Wat Lot Chong is an active temple with Buddhist monks. There is an ordination hall in situ, an open sided vihara with a seated Buddha statue, and other monastic structures. The ubosot was built in the Early Ayutthaya style (1351-1491), but its construction dates to the Rattanakosin period (after 1851 AD). The ordination hall is surrounded by eight "bai sema" or boundary stones, placed in the cardinal and inter-cardinal directions and protected from the elements by small open-sided structures. The boundary stones are double, indicating former royal patronage. The complex is surrounded by an inner wall or crystal wall (Th: Kamphaeng Kaew) demarcating the sacred area. Near Wat Lot Chong was one of the four former ferry crossings across the Chao Phraya River, linking the monastery to the Rear Palace (Wang Lang).
