Wat Kuti Thong วัดกุฎีทอง is an active temple located on the northern side of the old
Lopburi River. It is split into two parts by a road that runs through the center of the monastery.
The monks live in the buildings closest to the river and the ancient ruins are on the opposite side of the road.
Wat Kuti Thong is framed by many ancient walls and an arched entrance gateway. These can still be seen directly next to the road, but they are also visible completely around the monastery’s boundaries. Some of the walls are quite high in places.
The main sermon hall sits on top of a large mound, which may have been the remains of an older building. Two gold painted Buddha images sit in the taming mara poses on the main altar.
The sermon hall is a modern construction in the Ratanakosin style.
On the north side if the hall are two large chedis. They sit on top of a huge mound, so some parts of them may still be concealed underground. Both chedi are bell-shaped, which suggests that ...
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 ...
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 ...
