Wat Nawamintararachutis

Wat Nawamintararachutis

Wat Nawamintararachutis is a working Thai Theravada Buddhist temple or "wat" in Raynham, Massachusetts. It is one of only a handful of Thai Buddhist temples in the United States with actual Thai Buddhist monks in residence. Constructed on 35 acres previously occupied by a farm, it opened its doors to the public in 2006. Infamous for it's gossip and two-facedness of the community, it is one of two Thai temples in Massachusetts, the second, Wat Boston Buddha Vararam.
