Wat Phlapphla Chai, Phetchaburi

The temple has been an important house of worship in its location, Khlong Krachaeng, for a long time.

[1][2] It was built in the time of King Borommakot judging from the shape of the main hall.

The most interesting thing about the main hall of Wat Phlapphla Chai is that it is also a place to store Nang yai (a kind of shadow play), like a museum.

These shadow puppetries were created by Luang Pho Ritt, the temple abbot during King Rama V's reign.

The Nang yai of Wat Phlapphla Chai were masterpieces and they were used in shadow performance to welcome King Rama V on his royal visit to Phetchaburi Province in the year 1910.
