Wat Muang Chum
History
Wat Muang Chum is believed to have been built during the Ayutthaya period and was formerly called Wat Kradang Nga. It became an abandoned temple during the wars with Burma and the 2nd fall of Ayutthaya. Many sandstone Buddha heads were later excavated there. One example is Luang Pho Dam, now enshrined behind the temple; it was found underground to the north of the site. After peace and independence from Burma, villagers returned and resettled. Around B.E. 2424, a man named Khok and local residents rebuilt the temple near the original site and named it Wat Muang Chum. The name means “gathering under a mango tree,” because villagers of Bang Rachan gathered beneath a mango tree to plan the temple’s construction. An annual flower-alms ceremony is held during Buddhist Lent.
