Wat Nang Chi Chotikaram

🏡Wat Nang Chi Chotikaram is a third-class royal temple, believed to have been built in the mid-Ayutthaya period. 😣According to legend, Chao Phraya Phichit Chaimontri, Phraya Ruechai Narong, and Ok Luang Sena Sunthorn built this temple because Chao Phraya Phichit Chaimontri's daughter, named Im, fell ill for unknown reasons. 🙏Chao Phraya Phichit Chaimontri dreamed of a white-robed monk who told him to make a vow. If his daughter recovered, he would ordain her as a nun. When his daughter recovered, he fulfilled his vow by ordaining her and building the temple. 🏰The temple later became abandoned until the reign of King Rama I, when Phraya Choduek Ratchasetthi (Thian), a Chinese merchant, restored it. The temple's architectural style thus has Chinese characteristics and was dedicated as a royal temple. 🏰King Rama I named it Wat Nang Chi Chotikaram. 🏰During the reign of King Rama III, Phraya Ratchanuchit (Chong) restored the temple again in the royal style of King Rama III. 🙏The important relics are the Buddha's relics and the Arahant's relics, which are enshrined in a glass stupa at the temple since 2082 BE by Mae Chi Im. 🏞Wat Nang Chi Chotikaram hosts the annual Buddha Relic Procession on the 2nd waning day of the 12th lunar month. It is the only temple in Bangkok to hold this merit-making event. 💥Wat Nang Chi Chotikaram: Soi Therdthai 41/1, Therdthai Road, Pak Khlong Phasi Charoen Subdistrict, Phasi Charoen District, Bangkok 🌐Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/woLtqv2rVp38n4xu8 🕗Opening hours: 08:00 – 18:00
