Wat Bot
History
Wat Bot is in Village 5, Ban Bot, on the east bank of the Chao Phraya River in Ban Klang Subdistrict. It was built in 1621 (B.E. 2164) by Mon people who migrated from Hongsawadi and received a royal grant of land for its ordination hall in 1624 (B.E. 2167). The temple takes its name from the village, as do several other temples in Pathum Thani. Visitors pay respect to Luang Pho Sam Phi Nong in the ubosot and to a statue of Luang Pu Thian (Phra Khru Bowon Thammakit), a learned monk who supported education in Pathum Thani. One old vihara remains and houses the ancient Mon Buddha image Phra Saeng Aya Sit. Other notable items include a chedi, a hongsa pillar, a bronze four-headed elephant, and a lead statue of a dog named Ya Le, which the abbot received from King Rama VI during his visit to Pathum Thani.
