Famous royal temple attractions on the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, Thailand: Wat Nai Song Wihan, a Siamese cultural and artistic style temple building, suitable for taking photos and meditation

#Bangkok Attractions
Bangkok, Thailand is a world-famous tourist resort city. Every day, thousands of tourists come to Bangkok for sightseeing and vacation. The Chao Phraya River is the mother river of Bangkok and even the whole of Thailand. There are many scenic spots along the Chao Phraya River. This time I would like to introduce a temple attraction located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River: Wat Nai Song Wihan วัดในสองวิหาร. Free to visit and take photos📸, no need to buy tickets. You need to take off your shoes when entering the temple building. The temple is close to the bus station and BTS Skytrain station, and transportation is very convenient. The large ancient temple is known locally as Wat Nai Derm Song Wihan. It pairs well with Wat Nok or Wat Pho. Built in the middle period of Ayutthaya. Located on the north bank of the Bang Muang Canal on Sirirat Sattha Road passing by Wat Klang Worawihan. The road divides the temple into two sides. The main temple hall is on the left. The temple area is a lowland area. The Chao Phraya River is often flooded due to rising levels. This temple was then built and restored to replace the damaged old temple. This is Thai style. There is no Swan Tail Crow Leaf bouquet. The stucco gable faces east with balconies on all sides. There is a lotus on the capital of the square column. Doors and windows have stucco arches. The glass wall is not open for entry. In front of us is a huge white twelve-cornered wooden tower with lotus on top and covered with vines. The bell is placed on a lotus pedestal. The circular Element House sits on a lion plinth above a massive floor. Opposite is the Sangha, crematorium and temple area. From the parking lot on the right, you will see the Jiuding Pagoda Temple, which is square in shape, with a pointed roof, two stories high, and a statue of a god with longhorn legs. There are swan-tailed crow leaves. There is a picture of Lord Narayana on the gable. The main Buddha statue facing east is the Samadhi Buddha statue. On the left side there are two standing Buddha statues embracing the sea and two ancient temples side by side, which is the origin of the name of the temple. The one on the right is bigger. Neither has Swantail Crow Leaves. On the front gable of the main hall, there is a statue of Buddha meditating under a Bodhi tree. There are two doors, and the main Buddha is the statue of Malawichai. There are 16 smaller-sized Maravijaya statues on the same Chukchi base. Small back, smooth gable with only one door. The main Buddha statue is that of Malawichai Buddha, with another statue of Malawichai Buddha on each side. The front is a meditation posture. Taking photos 📸 will definitely be a hit. There are not many tourists in the temple, it is quiet and peaceful, very suitable for a person to meditate and daydream.
Address: 235 หมู่ที่ 1 Pak Nam, Mueang Samut Prakan District, Samut Prakan 10270
