From a nobleman’s vision to a serene sanctuary, Wat Phosop Phol Charean stands as a testament to time and devotion. Built in 1893 by Mr. Ku Tambol Chun and his wife, Wat Phosop Phol Charean rests along the Lam Luk Ka Road in Pathum Thani province. It sprawls across over 32 rai, bordered by the Khlong Hok-wa canal. Originally known as “Wat Phosop Phol Charean,” this temple gained royal recognition on May 1, 1974, receiving the Wisung-Khamsima, a consecrated area marking the temple’s official status. The Wisung-Khamsima, measuring 6 meters wide and 14 meters long, signifies royal endorsement and the temple’s importance within the community. The main Buddha statue, Phra Phutta Sri-Thosaphol, resides within an impressive chapel. This chapel, built in 1974, replaced an older structure from 1897. It stretches 18 meters long and 34 meters wide, offering a spacious area for worship. The temple also boasts a grand sermon hall, an expansive 39.80 meters long and 82.35 meters wide. Wat Phosop Phol Charean provides housing for monks with 12 cubicle monk residences. There are also five charitable halls for community activities and a crematorium. Behind Wat Phosop Phol Charean, the Khlong Hok-wa canal flows peacefully. Designated a “no catch” area, the canal teems with diverse fish species and attracts flocks of birds. Locals and tourists alike enjoy feeding the creatures. The canal also plays a central role in annual festivals, like Songkran and Loy Krathong. The cubicle monk area is uniquely enclosed by a fence featuring urn bone models, creating a distinct boundary. A small street allows local people to pass through the temple grounds. At the front of Wat Phosop Phol Charean, a turtle pond greets visitors. This pond, home to numerous turtles, adds to the temple’s charm. Visitors can purchase baskets of organic vegetables for 10 baht to feed the turtles.
