Wat Ko Phaya Cheng - Mon Temple in Nonthaburi and Riverside Community
Wat Ko Phaya Cheng วัดเกาะพญาเจ่ง also known as Koh Praya Jeng is a beautiful Buddhist temple located next to the Chao Phraya River in Nonthaburi, north of Bangkok.
This temple was built in the 16th century during the reign of King Taksin.
Nonthaburi once served as a fortress town, but now it is a popular weekend destination where local tourists can unwind and discover Ayutthaya era history.
Wat Koh Phaya Cheng, also known as Wat Bang Phut. During Thonburi period, Chao Phraya Maha Yotha (Tauria) dedicated this land to the construction of a temple. Its ubosot houses a reclining Buddha statue in a cremation posture and a Rattanakosin style principal Buddha statue.
During the reign of King Rama III, the murals were restored to represent 28 Lord Buddhas, angels listening to sermons, mythological Annonta fish swimming around Mount Meru, and scenes from Thai literature.
A short walk from a monastery compound, visitors can visit a white stupa of Queen Sunandha Kumariratana, which is situated in a nearby furniture factory. King Chulalongkorn built this memorial in memory of his wife and daughter, HRH Princess Kannabhornbejjaratana, who perished in a boat accident in this area.
The temple and area are off the normal tourist trails but worth a visit if you want to see the local riverside as well as this historical temple.
