Wat Nuannoradit

Abbey of Wat Nuannoradit

Wat Nuannoradit (Thai: วัดนวลนรดิศ) is the 3rd ranked temple in Thailand. It is on the western side of the Khlong Bangkok Yai (Bangkok Yai canal) and opposite Wat Praduchimplee and Wat Nuan Noradit School.

History

Wat Nuannoradit is ancient and was deserted for a long time. Some people believe that it was built in the era of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. Its older name was Wat Makok Nai ("Inside Bangkok canal temple"), paired with Wat Makok Nhok ("Outside Bangkok canal temple", now Wat Arun). At the end of the reign of Jao Kun Phraratchaphan (Nuan), who was Jao Praya Archaramahasena (Bunnaak)’s wife and the sister of Somdej Phra Ammarinthara Baromratchonnanee, she repaired Wat Makok Nai, assigning responsibility to her son Jao Phraya Phraklan (Dit Bunnaak).

Jao Phraya Phraklan (Dit Bunnaak) repaired Wat Makok Nai after he finished repairing Wat Prayurawongsawat in 2379 of the Buddhist era (1836). After that King Chulalongkorn (King Rama V) changed its name to Wat Nuannoradit after Jao Kun Phraratchaphan (Nuan).

The temple was repaired once by Jao Phraya Surawongwaiwat (Worn Bunnaak) and Jao Phraya Passakorawong (Phorn Bunnaak) and again by Pra Sassananurak (Tim Rattanachoot). After that, it was maintained continuously.[1][2]
