Worachan Temple is an ancient local Buddhist temple that has long stood alongside the community of Pho Phraya Subdistrict. The temple is located on the eastern bank of the Suphan Buri River, also known as the Tha Chin River. It serves as an important spiritual center for local residents and is widely known for the revered legacy of Luang Pu Pring, a former abbot renowned for his powerful spiritual knowledge and deep compassion. He was a contemporary monk of Luang Pho Mui from Wat Don Rai. His sacred amulets, especially various editions of coins and Buddha images, are highly sought after by collectors due to their reputed virtues of protection and loving-kindness.

Within the temple grounds, notable structures include the ordination hall and the viharn, which preserve traditional local architectural styles. Inside, sacred Buddha images and a life-sized statue of Luang Pu Pring are enshrined, allowing visitors to pay respect and seek blessings for good fortune. The temple area is also shaded by large trees, creating a peaceful environment, and features a riverside pavilion where visitors can relax and observe the simple and serene way of life along the Tha Chin River.

The overall atmosphere of Worachan Temple is calm, orderly, and tranquil, making it an ideal place for those wishing to escape the hustle and bustle to make merit and practice meditation. The surrounding lifestyle reflects the traditional riverside agricultural and trading communities of Suphan Buri. The river area is often home to abundant schools of fish, and visitors commonly engage in feeding them as a meritorious act that also brings peace of mind.

For travelers who enjoy paying homage to revered monks and visiting old riverside temples, Worachan Temple is a destination not to be missed in Mueang Suphan Buri District. Its unadorned simplicity allows visitors to connect deeply with Buddhist teachings and sincere faith. The temple is also located near the Pho Phraya Water Gate, another scenic viewpoint along the river.

Visitors are warmly invited to come and pay respects to Luang Pu Pring while absorbing the tranquil atmosphere along the Suphan Buri River at Wat Worachan, a place where faith continues to flow endlessly alongside the gentle currents of the Pho Phraya River.
