Description

Wat Amphawan is a classic Buddhist monastery located on the left bank of the Mae Klong River in Amphawa District of Samut Songkhram Province.

Wat Amphawan Chetiyaram is next to the King Rama II Memorial Park. It is a temple associated with the royal lineage of Bang Chang. Presumably, it was built during the reign of King Rama I. The back of this temple was once a residence of Luang Yokkrabat (King Rama I) and Khun Nak (Queen Ammarinthramat of King Rama I). It was believed that the area where the Prang (pagoda) is standing was the birthplace of Khun Nak's son or Khun Chim who later became King Rama II. Wat Amphawan Chetiyaram was renovated several times by Kings Rama III, IV, and V. At present, it is a royal temple of the second class. The ubosot (ordination hall) and permanent structures within the temple are mostly built in the Early Rattanakosin style. The ordination hall is a beautiful building. Furthermore, there is a Monument of King Rama II. [Source: TAT]
