Wat Samian Nari, วัดเสมียนนารี, is a civil temple built in King Rama V's reign and originally called Wat Khae Rai. The name Wat Samian Nari (ligerally means 'female clerk') was derived from Samian Kham, the prime donor for temple construction, who was a female clerk in the royal treasury in the King Rama V period. Inside the Phra Ubosot (Ordination Hall) which is of a Thai architectural style with stucco and gilded decoration, the Principal Buddha Image called Phra Sakkaya Buddhawongmuni is enshrined. In 1988 the temple was chosen by the Department of Religious Affairs as a Good Development Example Monastery of Bangkok.
