Karuna Temple is a sacred site deeply intertwined with the history of the Chao Phraya Dam's construction. Having been relocated to the dam's foot after the original site was affected by the project. The temple’s vihara houses “Luang Pho Phuttha Sapphasit,” a revered late Sukhothai-style Buddha image believed to bestow success and prosperity upon its worshippers. Beyond its spiritual sanctity, the temple's location adjacent to the dam crest offers breathtaking views of the Chao Phraya River, beautifully illustrating the harmonious coexistence of ancient faith and modern river basin development.
