Description

Wat Tha Ka Rong or the "Monastery of the Landing of the Crying Crow" is an active temple with Buddhist clergy. It has recently become a hot spot due to a water market held on its premises during weekends. It is also popular oddly because of its impressive bathrooms. This monastery was initially named Wat Tha as it was situated on a landing of the Chao Phraya River. The dockyard provided shelter for approximately two hundred boats. To its south was Wat Ka Rong (and a small viharn still exists). The names of the two monasteries were merged under this new name. The Chronicles of Ayutthaya mention the temple's existence for the first time in the mid-sixteenth century, but the monastery has been likely established much earlier. It has been the site of major military battles, including the final conflict with Burmese troops in 1767. (+)
