Wat Mai Chumpol - Nakhon Luang Thailand - 400 Year Old Temple With Murals
Wat Mai Prachumpol or Wat Mai Chumpol (often called Wat Mai by natives) is located on the East bank of Pa Sak River in Nakhon Laung.
According to the legend this temple was constructed sometime between middle - late Ayutthayaperiod (1610-1629 AD). The father of Thai History, HRH Prince Damrong Rajanuphab believed that the temple was built in the reign of King Prasart Thong. However, some sources say before it was converted to a temple, the building was initially intended to be a residence of King Song Tham during his boat trip to worship Phra Buddha Baht Saraburi. The temple underwent restoration during the reign of King Chulalongkorn, King Rama V in 1893.
There are several significant architectures within the temple: (1) a main stupa (chedi) built in twelve-indented corners standing on a square platform 15 meters wide and 25 meters high, (2) an ordination hall (Ubosot) renovated on the former base, (3) a sermon hall (Vihara) situated Buddha images in the style of meditating and subduing the devil, and (4) mural paintings on the interior wall of the Vihara show the scenes of the life of Lord Buddha.
Wat Mai Prachumpol was registered as a National Ancient Monument on April 9, 1999.
The temple is small but it’s a great piece of Thai history. The murals and Chedi are worth a visit and can be combined with a stop at Prasat Nakhon Luang that is close by.
