Wat Chomkhiri Nakprot

Nakhon Sawan, Nakhon Sawan Province

Wat Chom Kiri Nak Phrot is located just outside the town of Pak Nam Pho, before reaching the Dechatiwong Bridge. This temple is perched on a gentle hill on the left side of Phaholyothin Road. Upon ascending, visitors are treated to a breathtaking view of the Chao Phraya River, including the first bridge and the newly constructed Dechatiwong Bridge, which runs parallel to it. The temple is home to a footprint of the Buddha, and it holds monthly worship ceremonies every twelve months. Additionally, there is a pavilion known as the "Sala Thevada," which can accommodate a large number of people without ever feeling overcrowded. Wat Chom Kiri Nak Phrot is an ancient temple that was originally known by various names such as "Wat Lantom," "Wat Khao," and "Wat Khao Nakhon Sawan." During the reign of King Rama IV, it was officially named "Wat Khao Bochanak." However, evidence from the National Archives indicates another name: "Wat Suwannakiri Nak Phrot." Around the year 1882, Phaya Rajasamphanakorn (Luean Suranand) noted its name while traveling to Chiang Mai, referring to it as "Wat Hua Mueang." In the year 1906, during the reign of King Chulalongkorn, the temple acquired the official name it bears today: "Wat Chom Kiri Nak Phrot," though locals still often refer to it as "Wat Khao Bochanak" or simply "Wat Khao."
