Wat Phitchaya Yatikaram วัดพิชยญาติการาม 2nd Class Royal Temple with 42m Prang Thonburi Thailand
Wat Phitchaya Yatikaram วัดพิชยญาติการาม is a 2nd class royal temple in Thonburi. It was restored around 1830 by Somdet Chao Phraya Borom Maha Pichaiyat (That Bunnag) during the reign of King Rama III. That Bunnag was a successful trader with China and the architecture of the temple reflects the Chinese influences that were fashionable during this time. A statue of him seated is in front of the temple. His wife built the adjacent Wat Anongkharam.
The most notable feature of the temple is the massive 42 meter tall prang. Inside the prang are four Buddha images are seated looking out at each of the cardinal directions. Smaller prangs east and west of the main prang house an image of the Maitrya Buddha (The future Buddha) in the east and footprints of the four Buddhas (The last four incarnations of the Buddha) to the west. The prangs also contain the ashes of That Bunnag’s family.
The inside of the ubosot is finely decorated with some beautiful paintings in Chinese style of maritime voyages on the main pillars. The main Buddha image Phra Sittharot is in Sukhothai style.
The temple is said to be the most beautiful temple in Thonburi. It is very nice and well worth a visit. It’s off the normal tourist trail so you won’t have massive crowds while you explore this historic site.
