(Wat Thammamun Worawihan) | จังหวัดชัยนาท

This ancient temple in Chainat dates back to the Ayutthaya period. Inside the Ubosot (ordination hall) is a bronze Buddha statue in the conquering Mara pose, a style of U-Thong art.

King Rama V graciously invited the Buddha statue to be placed there. Inside is the viharn (wihan), where the image of Luang Pho Thammachak (the Buddha who subdues his relatives) is enshrined. The statue stands on a lotus base, with the Dharmachakra symbol in the center of its right hand. This Buddhist art combines stylistic elements of the late Chiang Saen, early Sukhothai, and Ayutthaya cultures. The temple also features a staircase with 565 steps.

Among the remarkable features of this temple is its location on a hillside along the Chao Phraya River, which offers a breathtaking view of the river and its important sacred relics:
