Prasat Khonburi - Hospital Temple - Thailand 2024

Prasat Khonburi ปราสาทค์ครบุรี

This small sight has been extensively restored into what it once looked like. This Khmer ruin is known as an arogyasala or hospital chapel.

Prang Khonburi is located in the Khonburi district of Nakhon Ratchasima province.

It is a Mahayana Buddhist temple with a simple tower and a rectangular building set inside an enclosure. There is a square pond located to the northeast.

The temple or Arohayasala served as a medical station built by order of King Jayavarman VIl
(1181-1218). During his reign 102 medical stations were built across the empire.

It was officially proclaimed as an Ancient Monument by the King on September 27th 1936.

It is just to the east of the ancient settlement site of Ban Khonburi. The laterite sanctuary closely follows a standard hospital chapel blueprint with a main, east-facing shrine and porch, intact 'library' and enclosing wall with an eastern gopura. All buildings were built with laterite stones with ...

Wat Choeng Tha and Wat Na Bot - Ayutthaya Period Temple Ruins in Nonthaburi - Thailand 2026

Choeng Tha-Na Bot Temple, officially known as Phutthasathan Choeng Tha-Na Bot พุทธสถานเชิงท่า-หน้าโบสถ์, is a preserved archaeological and religious site in Tha Sai subdistrict (near Pak Kret), Nonthaburi Province. It combines the surviving structures of two ancient temples: Wat Choeng Tha and Wat Na Bot.

The site now lies within the grounds of the Royal Irrigation Department (กรมชลประทาน) along the Chao Phraya River, making it a quiet, lesser-visited historic spot with Ayutthaya-period roots.

The exact founding dates of both temples are not clearly documented, but architectural evidence and historical records indicate they date back to the late Ayutthaya period (mid-to-late 18th century or earlier) and continued into the early Rattanakosin era. Wat Choeng Tha (meaning roughly “Temple at the Pier” or “Landing Place”) and Wat Na Bot (“Temple in Front of the Ordination Hall”) originally functioned as active community ...

From Ancient Ayutthaya to Modern Wonder: Wat Tanit Rai’s 200 Year Old Temple - Thailand 2026

Wat Tanit Rai, also known as Wat Tanoodrai or Wat Tanot Rai, is a modest rural Buddhist temple tucked away in Bang Khonthi District of Samut Songkhram Province, roughly an hour southwest of Bangkok.

Surrounded by palm orchards and quiet farmland near attractions like the Amphawa Floating Market, it offers a peaceful escape that blends centuries-old heritage with more recent temple artistry.

The temple stands out for its two distinct sections that highlight different eras of Thai religious architecture. The historic ordination hall, or ubosot, dates back more than 200 years to the late Ayutthaya or early Rattanakosin period, with some accounts linking its formal establishment to 1792 during the reign of King Rama I.

Its name likely derives from the rows of sugar palm trees, known locally as ton tanot, that once covered the site before the temple was built. This ancient white structure has largely avoided major internal restorations, preserving its original simple interior, dark wooden ceiling, low ...
