Wat Derm Bang is a public temple affiliated with the Maha Nikaya monastic order, located on the east bank of the Tha Chin River in Derm Bang sub-district, in the district of Derm Bang Nang Buat, Suphan Buri Province. According to the temple's history, it was established in 1882. Later, in 1908, King Chulalongkorn, or King Rama V, visited the area and stayed at Wat Derm Bang, granting it the name Wat Konga Ram. The temple's structures include an old ubosot (ordination hall) that measures 16 meters wide and 22 meters long, built in 1888. It is an ubosot constructed from brick and mortar, with a gable roof featuring a non-overlapping design of two eaves. The front of the ubosot has a porch covered with a tile roof. Inside the ubosot, a Buddha statue in the posture of Phra Paleilai is housed, and the interior walls are adorned with mural paintings depicting stories from the Buddha’s life. These were painted by a local craftsman named Nai Ya during the reign of King Rama VII. Also featured is the sacred hall of Luang Por Jaem and Luang Por Ban, which contains relics of the Buddha. Additionally, there is a replica of the Buddha's footprint over 100 years old and a bell tower. Among the important relics is the Dharma seat, made by Chinese craftsmen that showcase a blend of Thai and Chinese artistry. Created in 1915 from jackfruit wood, it is currently housed in the sermon hall. Furthermore, there is a prayer hall that stores three valuable items: a mother-of-pearl alms bowl lid, a ceremonial fan, and a tiered lunchbox, which were given to the temple by King Rama V and are preserved in good condition.
