'''Wat Chong Nonsi''' ({{lang-th|วัดช่องนนทรี}}, {{IPA-th|wát t͡ɕʰɔ̂ŋ nōn.sīː|pron}}) is a [[wat|Thai Buddhist temple]] of the late [[Ayutthaya period]]. The temple is adjacent to the edge of [[Chao Phraya river]] on the east side of [[Bangkok]] in the area known as [[Chong Nonsi]].<ref>{{cite news |title=วัดช่องนนทรี ยานนาวา ที่เที่ยวกรุงเทพ วัดดัง สวยเก่าแก่ แห่ง เมืองกรุง |url=https://travel.trueid.net/detail/NWBwO9KpYdrn |work=True ID |date=9 April 2023 |language=th}}</ref> The front of the temple faces the east likewise because it is the range where the river flows upward, opposite the side of [[Samut Prakan province|Samut Prakan]]'s [[Bang Kachao]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=เล็กสุขุม |first1=ดร สันติ |title=วัดเจดีย์ : ในและนอกเกาะกรุงศรีอยุธยา |date=2017 |publisher=Matichon Public Company Limited |isbn=978-974-02-1561-5 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ElxjDwAAQBAJ&dq=%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%8A%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B5&pg=PT263 |language=th}}</ref>

The main construction is the ''[[ubosot]]'' (ordination hall). It is the [[Junk (ship)|junk]]-like bending hall with five rooms, two porches, which looks like ''Mhaaud Church''{{efn|1="มหาอุด" is a specific term referring to an ordination hall that has no doors or any other windows. Apart from the only door that is the entrance and exit.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://legacy.orst.go.th/?knowledges=%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%B8%E0%B8%94-%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%AB%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%B8%E0%B8%94-%E0%B9%98-%E0%B8%9E%E0%B8%A4%E0%B8%A9%E0%B8%A0%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%A1-%E0%B9%92%E0%B9%95%E0%B9%95%E0%B9%91|title=อุด-มหาอุด|date=2008-05-08|accessdate=2024-01-01|language=thai|work=Royal Society of Thailand}}</ref>}}. The front of the ubosot is made as a second projecting portico, with four pillars supporting the roof timbers. The gable is made as a carved-wooden partition without patterns. The roof is wavy, made of tiles, then plastered with cement adjacent to the eaves. The front of the hall has ''[[cetiya]]s'' (pagodas) and ''[[bai sema]]'' (stone boundary markers) stones lined up.<ref>{{cite book |title=วัดช่องนนทรี |date=1982 |publisher=Mư̄ang Bōrān |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GbhWAAAAMAAJ&q=%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%8A%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B5 |language=en}}</ref>

The internal part houses the Buddha statue in [[Maravijaya attitude|subduing Mara]] posture, enshrined as the principal Buddha image, with the other four Buddha images spectacularly arranged in tiers. They are placed in pairs in an indenting way. At the base of the Buddha image, there is also gorgeous stucco with the lion's legs finely designed as the picture of [[garuda]].<ref>{{cite web |title=วัดช่องนนทรี ศิลปะไทยสมัยกรุงศรีฯ ที่อยู่มาจนถึงราชธานีปัจจุบัน |url=https://becommon.co/culture/temple_2/#accept |website=common: Knowledge, Attitude, make it Simple |publisher=becommon.co}}</ref>

The inside of the ubosot has mural paintings that narrate [[Jataka Tales]], starting from the left wall of the principal Buddha image counterclockwise until completing ten stories. The front wall above the doorway is painted with the picture of Maravijaya. The paintings at Wat Chong Nonsi represent the pictures of the Ayutthaya period.<ref>{{cite news |title=ทรุดหนัก!

This temple is one of the places where such paintings are completely extant, which may be contemporary with the paintings at [[Wat Prasat, Nonthaburi]].
