- Wat Phakininat Worawihan is a third-class royal temple of the Worawihan sect of the Mahanikaya sect, located in Bang Yi Khan Subdistrict, Bang Phlat District, Bangkok.
- It is assumed that this temple was built during the late Ayutthaya period. Originally named Wat Bang Chak due to its location at the mouth of the Bang Chak Canal, locals called it Wat Nok (alongside Wat Paorohit, Wat Thong, and Wat Singh). Later, during the reign of King Rama II, Her Royal Highness Princess Thebyavati found the original ordination hall (ordination hall) too cramped and ordered its conversion to a viharn (wihan). He also constructed a new ordination hall, including the principal Buddha image in the ordination hall, a gallery, 80 stucco Buddha images, four chedis at the corners of the ordination hall, monks' quarters, and a pavilion in front of the ordination hall. King Rama II bestowed the new name Wat Phakininat, which means "Temple of the Younger Sister."
