The main hall of the temple houses a statue of Luang Phor with devotees laminate the entire statue with religious gold foils. ***

Getting to this temple can be via road or river. During older days visitors are more fond of using the boat from Tha Chang or Tha Saphan Phut. My chartered driver had some difficulties to locate via the road as his previously visit many years ago was also via the river; next, the location has more than half a dozen other reasonably good scale Thai temples and you may have some hard time pinpointing the exact location. I was told if you intend to get there, just mentioned the place of Wak Pak Nam at "Talaku", Phunpuri area (officially, it was at Toed Thai Road, Bhasicharoen, Thonburi). The many small alleys that leads to the temple is very narrow; the compound is clustered with many buildings. It does has a large hall lie other established Thai temples but was packed with devotees that come from everywhere. Other than helpful monks that show you the way into, there are nuns offer help at the reception. One of the main attraction which first time visitors could miss out is the upstairs where a very high-quality Luang Phor Sodh (Sod) statue was hosted - the entrance to the upstairs is just located next to the gold-foils covered main statue at the ground floor (see the photo above). Below are a series of photos that provide a visual journal for those who may not be able to make a personal trip. Note: unlike many other established temples in Bangkok - there is NO entrance fees required to any part of this temple (great..)..
