  Wat Hua Lampong

 

Thailand

Wat Hua Lampong (fig.), a third class royal temple in Bangkok's Bang Rak district, is today surrounded by tall skyscrapers, a far cry from its beginning, when the area where the temple is built and from which its name derives, was known as thung hua lampong (ทุ่งวัวลำพอง), i.e. ‘wild cattle field’.
