Wat Vihara Thong

No one did not how this name came from.
There is only a remaining pagoda that almost slid down. From the remaining base, it is presumed that the original of this pagoda is lotus-shaped which is similar to the Wat Asokaram and also located in the south. It is assumed that it may be "Wat Thaksinaram"


The inscription of Wat Asokaram said that it is one of the temples that Her Majesty Queen Maha Chulalak Mahi Si Thep Thorrani Lokkarat, who is the Consort of Somdej Phra Maha Thamracha Sai Luteai, the 8th King of Sukhothai creating it. Since the meaning of Wat Thaksinaram name can be two meanings, it can be "the south temple" and "the temple built to receive merit"
