Ban Laemphrathat (Thai: บ้านแหลมพระธาตุ) is a village (muban) in the Nakhon Pa Mak subdistrict of Bang Krathum District of Phitsanulok Province, Thailand.[1]

Etymology

This village takes the name from its temple Wat Laemphrathat (Thai: วัดแหลมพระธาตุ). The first element, wat (Thai: วัด), means 'temple'. The second element, laem (Thai: แหลม), means 'sharp' or 'pointy'. The third element, phra (Thai: พระ), means 'monk' or image of Buddha. The fourth element, that (Thai: ธาตุ), means 'essence'. As a whole, the temple's name loosely translates to 'Temple of the Sharp Buddha Relic', and accordingly the name of the town village means 'Village of the Sharp Buddha Relic'.
