Wat Pathom Kongka
This unassuming temple, once known as Wat Sampeng, was
constructed during the Ayuthaya Period and so predates the founding of Bangkok
by nearly a centliry. One of the oldest wats in Bangkok, Wat Pathom Kongka
served as an execution ground for nobles convicted of state crimes. Today,
you’re more likely to find tradi tional Chinese funerals in the open pavilions
outside the cloistered courtyard. The temple compound is split by Songwat Road.
The main chapel with its bai sema stones enclosed in Cambodianstyle huts and
viham surrounded by cement stupas lie close to the Chao Praya River. The monks’
quarters and religious schools are on the other side of the road
