Wat Chumphon Nikayaram - Ancient Ayutthaya Style Temple - Thailand 2022

Wat Chumphon Nikayaram, classified as a royal second class temple. It is adjacent to the Bang Pa-in Royal Palace and to the Chao Praya River. It is believed that the temple was established in the reign of Prachao Prasat Thong during the Ayutthaya Era in 1632. The temple was later restored in the reign of Rama IV and Rama V of the Rattanakosin Era.

What is interesting here is the magnificent monastery in which seven principal Buddha images made of sandstone mixed with stucco are installed, which makes it different from what ordinary temples have. The mural paintings depicting the life of 7 Buddhas on the inside of the monastery are well kept but with time passing, some parts are showing their age.

The temple possesses a square-based stupa with 12 indented corners in which Buddha's relics have been placed and the stupa was built in the Ayutthaya style.

Anyone visiting Ayuddhaya would be disappointed if they didn't visit Wat Choompon Nikayaram since it possesses marvelous architecture in Ayutthaya style mixed with that of Rattanakosin.
