Wat Chin Pracha Samorsorn (Wat Leng Hok Yee) is located on Suphakit Road in Ban Mai Subdistrict of Chachoengsao. Built in 1906 during the reign of King Chulalongkorn, it is a Chinese Mahayana temple which is a branch of Wat Leng Nei Yee in Bangkok. When King Chulalongkorn paid a visit to Monthon Prachin Buri to officially open the Bangkok-Chachoengsao Railway, he named the temple “Wat Chin Pracha Samoson”. It also has a Chinese name, Leng Hok Yee, with “Hok” meaning good fortune or happiness and “Leng” meaning a dragon.
