[2025 Ang Thong Attraction] Travel Guide for Sang Kra Tai Temple (Updated Jun)

Wat Sangkratai is an ancient temple located in Sala Daeng Subdistrict, Mueang District, Ang Thong Province. The highlight is the four ancient Bodhi trees that surround the church, which are over 400 years old. Wat Sangkratai does not have a roof, but the Bodhi trees provide shade. Although the church is old, the roots of the Bodhi trees hold the church walls up to prevent them from deteriorating. It is a beauty that everyone should come and see with their own eyes. ✨ Location: Mueang District, Ang Thong Province 💗 Open-Close: 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. #VisitAngThong #Worship

Abandoned church in the Bodhi tree, Wat Sangkratai, Ang Thong Unseen. Ang Thong Wat Sangkratai is abandoned because the monks in the temple fought until the temple was abandoned. Wat Sangkratai or originally Wat Samkratai, has a story that "Taw Ti Chanthanasewi", the mother of Phraya Hasakan, was the builder since before the Ayutthaya period, approximately 400 years ago. At that time, it was an ordinary temple with monks. But because of the curse of this plot of land, the monks in this temple often fought each other, until the villagers were fed up and did not have faith. When the villagers did not have faith, they did not come to make merit. The monks could not stay. This temple was therefore abandoned. Later, the villagers built a new temple called Wat Pailom, which was nearby. They came to dismantle the wood from Wat Sangkratai to build the monks' huts and the pavilion in the newly built temple, leaving Wat Sangkratai with only one abandoned church. After being abandoned for a long time until it became a dense forest, there were still villagers who asked to use it to farm and garden in some areas of the temple. The church is a church made of bricks and plastered with cement. In the present state, there is no roof but the shade of the Bodhi tree acts as a natural roof. The four walls of the church are still intact. There are windows with only wooden frames, but some are assumed to have been re-inserted to make the church walls stronger. There are large Bodhi trees growing at the four corners of the church walls and the roots of the Bodhi trees have caught the church walls to prevent them from falling down. Therefore, it can be seen that the church is held up by the four Bodhi trees, which is a miracle. This abandoned church survived because of the four Bodhi trees. Wat Sangkratai has been renovated to be a tourist attraction, but it is still in its original condition, but it has been made stronger and cleaner. Inside the church is divided into three parts. The front room enshrines Luang Por Kaen. Villagers say that Luang Por Kaen was not originally here but was renovated and restored by bringing the Buddha's head that was cut from Wichian Chai. (There is a story that a thief stole the head of Luang Por from a temple in Wichian Chai, but for some unknown reason, he left it in the grass at Wat Sangkratai. When the villagers found it, they brought it to the church.) Later, the Buddha's head was restored and molded into the Buddha image as seen today. However, the principal Buddha image inside the chapel is Luang Pho Wan Dee, with Luang Pho Sri and Luang Pho Suk.

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck A temple over 400 years old, in the past it was a deserted forest. There was not a single monk living in this temple. The Fine Arts Department excavated and found many ancient cups and bowls. The temple is not very big. The community area is very shady. It is worth paying homage in the old chapel covered with Bodhi trees. Wat Sangkratai is an ancient temple from the Ayutthaya period. The walls of the chapel are held together by the roots of Bodhi trees and Banyan trees. There is no back of the chapel, so the light shines through the branches, making it look very beautiful when taking pictures. It is recommended to come at noon. Wat Sangkratai is located in Sala Daeng Subdistrict, Mueang District, Ang Thong Province. The chapel is over 400 years old. The only remaining part is the chapel wall, which is covered by 4 Bodhi trees and held together by the walls in a 4-cornered position. There are 3 rooms in the chapel with a principal Buddha image and 4 Buddha images in total. In the first room, Luang Pho Kaen is enshrined. In the large room in the middle, Luang Pho Wan Dee, Luang Pho Si, and Luang Pho Suk are enshrined. The last room is the room of Grandfather Rishi. The window can look directly into the Buddha image, and the wall is supported by the roots of the Bodhi tree.

Wat Sangkratai is located in Sala Daeng Subdistrict. It was originally named Wat Sam Kratai. This temple is about 2 kilometers from Ang Thong city center. The founder of this temple was Thuat Ti Chantanasawi (the mother of Phra Haskal). In the past, monks resided here, but over time, disagreements among the monks led to a decline in public faith, and eventually, no one wanted to make merit at this temple. It became abandoned with no monks residing there. Currently, only the old chapel remains, with just the walls left standing, covered and held together by four Bodhi trees. The roots of these trees have grown to cover and support the chapel walls at all four corners, which is quite remarkable. The chapel has three rooms, with the central room housing the principal Buddha image and two smaller Buddha statues. The unseen corner of this temple is the window that perfectly aligns with the Buddha image and the walls supported by the Bodhi tree roots. To get there, from the Asian Highway, turn into Ang Thong city, continue straight, cross the Chao Phraya River bridge, go through the market, and continue straight until you reach the red light intersection (prison intersection). Turn right past Ang Thong Prison, go straight, and you will see a PTT gas station on the left. Make a U-turn, and you will see the Wat Sangkratai sign on the left. Then, turn left into Sala Daeng Subdistrict Municipality alley for about 500 meters to reach Wat Sangkratai.

#LuckyPost #AngthongTravel #TempleTravel The headline of Prasat Ta Prohm of Thailand may get hammered by people, but the abandoned church of Wat Sang Kratai makes me think of Prasat Ta Prohm. This church has Bodhi trees growing on all four corners. At first, it seemed to destroy the foundation of the church, but over time, it helped support the structure of the church, allowing it to stand for more than 400 years. A natural wonder at Wat Sang Kratai, Ang Thong Province
