Wat Prasat, Nonthaburi (Thai: วัดปราสาท, RTGS: Wat Prasat, pronounced [wát prās̄āth], Temple of Prasat) is the oldest temple in Nonthaburi. Wat Prasat was built in the reign of King Prasat Thong.
Wat Prasat is in Bang Krang Subdistrict, Mueang Nonthaburi District, Nonthaburi Province.[1][2] Its mural is the work of the province's most admired artist and is the oldest painting in Nonthaburi Province.[3] The temple is in the Mahayana sect, a temple that was bestowed upon Wisungkhamsima (วิสุงคามสีมา) for tourism.[4] It is registered as a National Historic Site.[2] Its date of construction is unknown. Sources variously say that Wat Prasat was built in the reign of King Prasat Thong[5] or in the reign of King Narai[2].
