Wat Poramai Yikawat

วัดปรมัยยิกาวาส

The main temple on the island, this old monastery is constructed in Mon (Burmese) style and is a focal point of Thailand's small Mon community: both the scriptures and the daily prayers here are in Mon. The ubosot is decorated in Italian marble brought in by King Rama V, and a wooden pagoda near the pier houses the remains of one of the abbots. The white, Burmese-style stupa, modelled on Phra Tat Chedi Mutao in Hongsawadi, Myanmar, is said to contain the Buddha's relics.

Wat Poramaiyikawat Museum
Next to the temple, this small museum displays various interesting items such as votive tablets, crystal ware, porcelains including "hem", a masterpiece made by Colonel Chatwat Ngamniyom. Some say that Hem must have been created by a Mon who had an inspiration from the coffin of the Lord Buddha. Dried remains will be put in the normal hem coffin but the hem of monks is different with a tiny window where the body can be seen from outside.

Kwan Aman Pottery Museum
This pottery museum is notable for its large collection of the distinctive ancient Mon design ceramics (see Buy below). Mon people have always been skilled in pottery since their settlement in the delta of Irawadi River. Later, at the time of Mon's installation to Thailand during the Thonburi era, pottery has become since then Nonthaburi's oldest handicraft and symbol with the notably beautiful characteristic Mon design.
