Located on the banks of Klong Dan at Wat Paknam Bhasi Charoen, a giant Buddha statue is the new landmark in the Thon Buri area.
Phra Phuttha Dhammakaya Thepmongkol rises 69m at Wat Paknam Bhasi Charoen.
You can reach the temple by taking the BTS Skytrain across the Chao Phraya River and get off at Wutthakat station. From here, you can take a cab or a motorcycle taxi to the temple. An alternative option is to leave the Skytrain at Talat Phlu station and do a little tour around the community before you arrive at the gigantic Buddha image.
