Wat Pom Noi or the "Monastery of the Little Fortress" was located off the City Island
in the Northwestern area in Tambon Ban Pom. The monastery was located along the
Chao Phraya River above the city and the site can be accessed via road No 3412.
North of it was situated Wat Pom Yai. Wat Phukhao Thong was situated at the opposite
side of the Chao Phraya River.
Between Wat Pom Yai and Wat Pom Noi was a canal called Khlong Wat Pom, which
had a junction with the Chao Phraya River. Opposite the mouth of this klong was
another canal leading to Wat Phukhao Thong called Khlong Yai.
There are buildings situated on the site, which is situated on private property. Although
we could not access the site, it is very likely that nothing of this monastery remains above
ground level.
The monastery's historical background and period of construction are unknown.
