WAT PHRA THAT KLANG NAM (WAT PHRATHAT LANONG)

Much closer and quite unique in its kind, this temple has the particularity of being in the middle of the Mekong River: its chedi is periodically covered by water during the rainy season! And he seems to be valiantly resisting the violence of the waves. It must be said that at the time of its construction, in 1847, the bed of the river was much narrower at this point, and that the building was then on the shore! It is located in front of the Phaya Naga monument.
