Wat Anongkharam

Wat Anongkharam Worawihan is a second-class royal Buddhist temple located on Somdet Chao Phraya Road in Khlong San District, Bangkok, on the Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya River. Built in 1850 by Somdet Chao Phraya Borom Maha Si Suriyawong (Chuang Bunnag) during the reign of King Rama III and completed under King Rama IV, it is notable for its Thai-style ordination hall, principal Buddha images, and historical association with the influential Bunnag family.

Visitors can expect a compact, active urban temple compound with an ordination hall (ubosot), vihara, and monastic buildings set along Somdet Chao Phraya Road near the Chao Phraya River. The grounds are generally quiet compared to larger riverside attractions, with traditional Thai architecture, Buddha images, and decorative details to observe. Visitors can walk around the courtyard, view the exterior and interior of accessible halls, and observe local merit-making activities in a neighborhood temple setting.

Founded in 1850 by Somdet Chao Phraya Borom Maha Si Suriyawong (Chuang Bunnag) during the reign of King Rama III and completed in the reign of King Rama IV. It was built as a family temple of the Bunnag family and later elevated to a second-class royal temple (Worawihan), reflecting late Rattanakosin period temple construction.

An active Theravada Buddhist temple and second-class royal temple serving the local community in Thonburi. It functions as a religious site for merit-making, Buddhist ceremonies, and preservation of traditional Thai temple architecture and Buddha image veneration.
