Wat Nang Sao, Samut Sakhon

Wat Nang Sao is an old temple in Tha Mai subdistrict, Krathum Baen district, Samut Sakhon, Thailand. Wat Nang Sao is located near the Tha Chin River. It goes back to the Ayutthaya period.

According two legend, two sisters sought refuge in the ordination hall of the temple during the war that erupted between Siam and Burma. At that time, the temple was in a dilapidated state. The sisters made a vow that if they survived the war, they would restore the temple.

Following the victory of the Siamese, the elder sister decided that the temple was too run down to restore, and wanted to build a new one. However the younger sister kept her vow and restored the temple, which she called Wat Phrommachari. It was later renamed Wat Nong Sao, and later corrupted to Wat Nang Sao.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
