Our first stop was Wat Sothonwararam Worawihan, a temple with a rich history dating back to the late Ayutthaya period. Originally named Wat Hong, it is renowned for housing the revered Phra Phutthasothon Buddha image, a significant spiritual symbol for the local community.

Wat Sothonwararam is a temple in Chachoengsao Province, Thailand. Located in the Municipality of Mueang Chachoengsao alongside the Bang Pakong River, it was initially named ‘Wat Hong, ’ and was built in the late Ayutthaya period.

The temple’s architecture is a harmonious blend of Thai and Western styles, featuring a grand chapel with a soaring spire and intricate stained glass windows.
