Wat Chantaram Worawihan (Wat Klang, Talat Phlu) is one of the oldest and most historically significant temples in Thonburi. It dates back to the Ayutthaya period and has served as a spiritual center for the Talat Phlu community for centuries.

The temple features a revered principal Buddha image and showcases beautifully preserved traditional Thai architecture. Visitors will also find intricate mural paintings and serene temple grounds that reflect Thailand’s deep spiritual roots.

During major Buddhist festivals such as Makha Bucha and Visakha Bucha, the temple becomes lively with worshippers attending ceremonies and candlelit processions. The peaceful, shaded atmosphere makes it ideal for quiet contemplation and spiritual reflection.

This temple is a favorite among photographers, artists, and couples seeking to experience the charm of old Bangkok. Its riverside and neighborhood setting offers a glimpse into a slower, more traditional way of life.

If you’re looking for serenity and cultural richness in the heart of Bangkok, Wat Chantaram Worawihan is a hidden gem not to be missed.
