Wat Champa

Wat Champa () was built in the late Ayutthaya period and underwent a massive restoration in the King Rama III's reign during early Rattanakosin period. The gables of the ordination hall of temple are studded with Chinese porcelain and the window frames are made of elaborately carved wood. Behind this hall is a pool of holy water that is more than 100 years old, it never runs dry and the water is believed to cure illnesses. The principle Buddha statue named "Luang Por Chokdee" (หลวงพ่อโชคดี), which means "lucky venerable father". ==Tourism==

Wat Champa Community, also known as Ko San Chao Community (ชุมชนเกาะศาลเจ้า), is a settlement of locals who live around the temple. Although the community is surrounded by highways and urban development, it remains inaccessible by road, making it a verdant oasis of fruit plantations and canals, hence the name "ko" or island in Thai. The community is believed to have existed for more than 500 years. The name Ko San Chao ("shrine island") comes from a shrine at the center of the community, located where Khlong Bang Ramat meets Khlong Ban Sai. This is the shrine of Chao Por Chui, a water deity long revered by the locals. ==References==
