Temporary Resting Place of the Emerald Buddha - Wat Tamnak Tai วัดตำหนักใต้
Hidden away on Sanambinnam Road is Wat Tamnak Tai, where King Taksin built a temporary pavilion and authorised a three day, three night celebration to welcome the Emerald Buddha statue as it was transported from Vientiane to the Thon Buri kingdom.
This area was formerly known as Bang
Thoranee before the temple was erected
during the reign of King Rama Ill. The
historical ubosot faces east towards the
former major transportation routes of the
Bang Thoranee and Bang Kraso canals.
Inside, visitors can pay homage to a revered
Ayutthaya style Buddha statue in a posture
of Palilayaka seated on a hill while an
elephant and a monkey offer a honeycomb
and sugarcane.
Most ancient murals on the walls have
faded. What you can see show rural life such as a villager carrying a shotgun to hunt animals in the forest, a boat sailing from China, and Indian merchants moving around.
Around 70 years ago, the temple was
extended to accommodate the growing
number of pilgrims with the construction of
a new two story ordination hall. It houses a
Sukhothai style statue of Luang Po
Thongkham. Inside the hall murals depicting Lord Buddha's 10 lives have been painted on the walls.
