Wat Nak Prok, Świątynia buddyjska w dzielnicy Phasi Charoen, Bangkok, Tajlandia
Wat Nak Prok is a Buddhist temple in Bangkok, Thailand, featuring a vihara with a bronze Buddha image positioned under a remarkable seven-headed Naga statue made from mortar. The site includes multiple structures that serve as the active religious center and its prayer spaces.
The temple was established in 1748 by a Chinese merchant named Phuk from the Talat Phlu area, who dedicated the vihara to his Thai wife and the ubosot to himself. The structure reflects architectural design from the Ayutthaya period.
Świątynia serves as a meeting place where monks and residents gather for Buddhist ceremonies and meditation practices. These activities continue to be an important part of how the community uses and relates to the space.
Visitors must remove shoes before entering temple buildings and should wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees according to Buddhist etiquette. Following these basic customs helps ensure a respectful and appropriate experience at the site.
The site was officially registered as a national ancient monument by Thailand's Fine Arts Department in 1977, ensuring protection for the future. This recognition highlights its importance in preserving architectural heritage from a significant historical era.
