Description

Wat Bang Kaphrom aka Luang Pho Khong is a classic Buddhist monastery located on the left bank of the Mae Klong River in the City District of Samut Songkhram Province.

Wat Bang Kaphom was built in the late Ayutthaya period. The old vihara (image hall) is very interesting. On the upper part of the walls, there are unusual mural paintings in the form of stucco reliefs depicting the Lord Buddha`s history. On the lower part of the walls, there are niches with Buddha images inside. In the center of the hall, a large replica of four superimposing Buddha`s footprints in different sizes is enshrined. It was presumed that the footprints were built in the Thon Buri period. Initially, they were covered by silver sheets which were later stolen during a war. The footprint at the deepest level which is made from mother-of-pearl-inlaid wood still retains its beautiful design. [Source: TAT]
