Wat Bang Khae Yai Temple Samut Songkhram - Historic Rama II Mural - Thailand 2022

Built in 1814, there are many historical structures and artifacts within this temple compound. The large Ubosot or ordination hall itself is over 150 years old. Inside is a laterite Buddha image. A square Chedi, or pagoda, is built in the style of the Ayutthaya period and stands in front of the Ubosot. Another seven Dharma Chedis, built in 1872, and are encircled by a wall.

In the monks residence, a mural created during the reign of King Rama II depicts a battle between the Siamese and the Burmese. Wat Bang Khae Yai is located on the bank of the Mae Klong River, at the mouth of the Bang Khae Canal.

It’s a nice stop if you are doing a day trip from one of the floating markets or the railway market. The hidden gem at this temple is the murals painted on the walls of the second story of the wooden temple building that is normally closed to the public.
