Wat Samphao Lom

Beschrijving

(From the Wat Khok Jindaram exit continue to head west (without crossing the bridge to Masjid Yami Ul-Islam). Your route will have Khlong Thakian on your left hand side, which will only be glimpsed in a few places, and on the right hand side will be some scenic rice fields. This beautiful and colorful stretch of land will continue for about 10-15 minutes. The road will briefly turn in a few places before coming to a fork, but keep right and you will arrive at the next destination with no problem. Actually, the next Point of Interest can be spotted at a long distance away because it stands out amongst the panorama of rice fields. The road will take you right to it, and it will be on the left hand side.)


Wat Samphao Lom or the "Monastery of the Capsized Junk" is an active temple with Buddhist clergy. The large ordination hall or ubosot has been completely renovated, though traces of its brick foundation and interior walls are still observable. This monastery’s highlights are its beautifully decorated 3-D murals, and some of this artwork quite literally reaches out at you. Many scenes from Buddha’s life (jakatas) are elaborately portrayed in intricate detail. This monastery was built when people moved here from Bang Kaja, where the sinking of boats was a problem due to the fast moving confluence of Pa Sak and Chao Phraya rivers. Wat Samphao Lom’s name refers to sunken boats, but it is also known as Wat Tham Mai (newly made monastery).
