🏘 Wat Bang Bua was established around 1837 by Phra Ya Si, Phra Ya Phet Prani, Phra Ya Phuk Phakdi, and Phra Ya Ratcha Lak Mueang. Originally named Wat Lat Nam Khem, it was later renamed Wat Bang Bua.

Key attractions and significant features within the temple include:
🏠 The Thai-style ordination hall (Ubosot), built in 1976, featuring a three-tiered tiled roof, decorative gables, and crown-shaped doors and windows inspired by Ayutthaya art.
