Amazing Boat Shaped Wat -Bang Riang

10.06.2023

On my way to Wat Bang Riang's beautiful Chedi and Temple up on the hill, in Thap Put, Muang, Phang Nga, Thailand. I decided to visit this part of the complex first.

Set at the base of the hill, and quite often overlooked for the Wat that has the quite spectacular chedi on the hill further up from it. I decided to stop and take in the unusual and novel design of the Ubosot, set on a concrete boat, with a magnificent Naga head as the Bow. Surrounded by a small pond, making it appear to be floating on water! The walk round it was perfect. The Bow of the Boat so to speak is a stunning and strikingly large Naga Head piece. and the details all around the Wat are beautiful as well as colourful.

The Chedi at the top of the hill is the main draw, but I enjoyed this bit and was glad I visited it first!
