Geocache Description:

Wat Pathumkhongkha Ratchaworawiharn (also spelled Wat Pathum Khong Ka) is a second class royal temple located in the Sampheng or Samphanthawong district of Bangkok's Chinatown.

The temple dates from the Ayutthaya period and was usually called Wat Sampheng in reference to its location. In the reign of King Rama I, Somdet Krom Phraratchawang Borworn Mahasurasinghanat renovated the entire temple as a merit-making dedicated to his father Thongdee and renamed the temple to its present name of Wat Pathumkhongkha. The Ubosot (Ordination Hall) is made of brick and has a principal Buddha image in the subduing Mara (demon) mudra enshrined inside. The doors and windows of the Wiharn (Sermon Hall) are of beautiful lacquered gold leaf patterns. In the rear, the stone of Lord Buddha's footprint is placed. Behind the Wiharn is found the Thaen Hin Paraharn Kabot (literally the rebel execution stone) upon which King Rama III, in 1848 (2391 BE), ordered the execution of Krommaluang Rak Ronnaret for planning a rebellion against him. The canal in front of the temple was regarded as a holy place where ashes of the royal family and the white elephants would be scattered.
