Bang Khae Yai Temple (วัดบางแคใหญ่) Amphawa Samut Songkhram

The large ubosot, or ordination hall, is over 150 years old. Inside is a Buddha statue made of laterite. A square chedi, or pagoda, in the Ayutthaya style stands in front of the ubosot. Seven more dharma chedis were built in 1872.

They are surrounded by a wall. In the monks' dormitory, a mural from the reign of King Rama II depicts a battle between Siamese and Burmese. Wat Bang Khae Yai is located on the banks of the Mae Klong River, at the mouth of the Bang Khae Canal in Tambon Khwae Om. To get there, take National Route 325 (Samut Songkhram-Bang Phae) and turn left to cross the Phra Si Suriyen Bridge. Then turn right onto National Route 3062 and drive for about 2 kilometers, passing Wat Phummarin Kudi Thong. Wat Bang Khae Yai is visible from there. Please note that prior authorization is required for entry.
