Wat Tang Kham Noi is a temple of the people under the Mahanikaya sect. It is located in Tambon Hua Sai, Amphoe Bang Khla, Chachoengsao Province. It covers an area of ​​approximately 12 rai and is adjacent to Khlong Hua Sai. Currently, Phra Athikarn Somsak Khantisaro is the abbot.

 

Wat Tang Kham Noi was originally called Wat Si Wilai Rat Satthatham Kham Noi. At first, there were 3 wandering monks from Nakhon Ratchasima Province who came to the village of Tang Kham Noi. After that, the people invited the 3 monks to reside in the village. Then, the villagers consulted about building a hermitage. Mr. Koet and Mrs. Raem donated 12 rai of land and 3 houses to be used as kuti. It is not known what year the hermitage was built. Later, the temple was built and elevated to a temple in 1881.

 

Then, the chapel was built in 1921, but there was no principal Buddha image. The people traveled to Phitsanulok Province and found a craftsman to build a replica of Phra Buddha Chinnarat to be placed in the chapel. The temple received the royal charter of the boundary markers on July 17, 1987. The temple holds a celebration of Phra Buddha Chinnarat twice a year: the first day of the waning moon of the 11th lunar month. In the past, the Buddha image would be paraded along the Bang Pakong River, but later it was changed to a parade float. Another event is the gold leafing ceremony, held for two days: the 12th and 13th waxing moons of the 4th lunar month.
