Wat Tha Takhro
Wat Tha Takhro is a quiet, village-rooted Buddhist temple set on high ground beside the Ping River in the hamlet of Ban Tha Takhro, part of Pradang subdistrict in Wang Chao District, Tak. Established in 1863 and named after the community that built it, it is a working Mahanikay temple rather than a showpiece monument—best visited for its unhurried local atmosphere and its unusual rows of Dhamma teaching arches and proverb boards. For travellers exploring the small riverside towns south of Tak city, Wat Tha Takhro offers an authentic glimpse of everyday merit-making in a rural Thai temple, maintained over generations by the neighbouring villages of Ban Tha Takhro and Ban Khlong Chiang Thong.
