Wat Wang in Phattalung

---

Wat Wang is one of the important places of worship of Phattalung.
Initially, it was an ancient temple which was assumed to have been built in the late Ayutthaya period.

During the reign of King Rama III, it was rebuilt by Phraya Phattalung (Thongkhao). The temple once served as a ceremonial place for civil servants to swear an oath of allegiance to the king in the early Rattanakosin era.
Later, the city of Phattalung was moved to Tambon Khuha Sawan. The temple. therefore, was left in disrepair. In 1969, it was restored. The temple has many important items. the Ubosot (ordination hall) is in the architectural style of the Rattanakosin era, with the 'Chaofa'-gable finial, 'Bai Raka'-crockets, and a front portico.

Wat Wang is a temple located in Tambon Lampam, around 6 km from town on H4047 (the same route to Khao Ok Thalu).
