Wat Ko - Unique Temple with Street Art Murals - Taling Chan District Bangkok
A very unique temple in Bangkok. A french street artist was commissioned to paint murals in the main hall. Traditionally they are painted by hand but not in this hall. The murals are one of a kind and worth a look.
Wat Ko วัดเกาะ is a Buddhist temple over 320 years old in Taling Chan District, Bangkok. The temple was built during the late Ayutthaya period, but the exact builder is unknown. It is located on a land surrounded by two waterways Khlong Bang Chueak Nang and Khlong Bang Noi, hence the name "Wat Ko", which means "island temple".
This temple is believed to have been built during the late Ayutthaya period, more than 300 years ago. The principle Buddha named Luang Pho Dam (หลวงพ่อดำ) is enshrined in a sanctuary with a Chinese-styled roof.
One of the highlights of this temple is the ancient chedi located on the right side of the sanctuary rim Khlong Bang Noi.
Wat Ko is a small and quiet temple, and cannot be reached by car. This temple is the destination of tourists by long-tail boat from Taling Chan floating market, which is only available on Saturday-Sunday or a holiday only.
The murals are very interesting. Tell me in the comments if you prefer them to the traditional murals you see in many of the temples.
Enjoy the video!
