Wat Traimit Witthayaram Worawiharn
The temple was built around 1832, it was formerly named Wat Sam Chin (Three Chineses Temple), after three chinese donors who contributed their properties to build the temple in 1939, it's name was changed to Wat Traimit Witthayaram and became a royal temple 1956. The Buddha Image named Sukhothai Traimit located inside The Wiharn (Hall of Worship) belongs to Sukhothai period, presumably
made during the reign of King Ramkhamhaeng The great (1277-1317). The image was moved from Wat Mahathat in Sukhothai to Wat Chotinaram (Wat Phraya Krai) during the reign of King Rama III. Then it was shifted to this temple and stored in the pavilion before moving to the present location in 1955. During its moving the lime covering of the image was cracked revealing the guilt golden -
buddha image inside. The entire covering was then removed.
