Wat Klang Bang Kaew is located in the Nakhon Chai Si district, one of the most interesting districts in Nakhon Pathom province, 19 kilometers from the city. The highlight is the main vihara with its colorful murals and intricately detailed stucco figures on the exterior. Behind it is a Khmer-style chedi with a red brick base, whose statues, in my opinion, are very photogenic. The first temple on this site dates back to the Ayutthaya period. There is also a small museum with historical remains, artifacts, and belongings of the deceased monks Luang Poo Boon and Luang Poo Perm, as well as Buddha statues, amulets, and sacred talismans. A section is dedicated to traditional medicine and medicinal herbs. The temple is open from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Saturdays, Sundays, and Thai holidays. Unfortunately, it was closed during my visit.

No entrance fee. Don't miss the magnificent, golden Wat Maisupradittharam right next door, and why not take a quick detour to Wat Tukkatha with its statue of the Incredible Hulk ;)

There is no convenient public transport to reach Wat Klang Bang Kaeo. The best way to get there is by private vehicle.

Wat Klang Bang Kaew is a temple, and when visiting a temple in Thailand there are some rules to follow: appropriate clothing (knees and shoulders should be covered), take off your shoes when entering the building, be quiet, do not hug or kiss, do not point your feet at the Buddha statue, do not smoke.
