Wat Bua Roi
Brief history of the temple
Wat Bua Roi was built in the year 2430 by Mr. Chot and Mrs. Khloy Chuangchot who were the operators of the temple building. It was named "Wat Chot Bua" in honor and respect of the creators. Later, the name was changed from the original due to the fact that the temple was located along the Chuat Bua canal where there were many Bualuang plants growing in the area. Thus, it was called "Wat Huat Bua." The current name "Wat Bua Roi" was given after receiving the "Royal Bestowed Wisungkhamsima" in the year 2457.
