Wat Sakhla
Wat Sakhla (Thai: วัดสาขลา, [wát sǎːkʰlǎː]) is an ancient Thai Buddhist temple in the area of Ban Sakhla, Na Kluea sub-district, Phra Samut Chedi district, Samut Prakan province.
This temple is located in a traditional waterfront community known as Ban Sakhla, which dates back at least to the early Ayutthaya period (about 600 years ago). It was built in 1782, which coincides with the founding year of Rattanakosin by King Rama I, the first sovereign and founder of the Chakri house, the dynasty of Thai kings in modern times.
It is a quiet temple with a leaning prang (Khmer-style pagoda) tower, the most outstanding feature of the temple. This temple is the spiritual anchor of the community people. Inside the temple is a local museum displaying exhibitions on traditional lifestyles and occupations, as well as showing some items used in daily life in the past.[1][2]
On Saturday – Sunday including public holidays, the temple area becomes a lively flea market, with a wide variety of goods for locals and outsiders alike.[1]
