Wat Phuttha Prommayan - Chachoengsao Thailand 2023 - Peaceful Temple on an Island

Wat Phuttha Prommayan is a temple located in Chachangsao Thailand about an hour east of Bangkok. It’s famous for the Buddha image and locals come here to make merit.

This temple is located on Koh Lat Island, in the middle of the Bang Pakong River. The temple has an area of more than 20 rai (10 acres). It is only accessible by boat due to no road connecting the island to the mainland. It’s a short ferry ride that costs 20 Baht per person to get over to the temple.

The interior atmosphere is beautiful and luxurious with sculptures and architecture of pearl white and gold. It features pictures and statues of Ekaluck Panikamo from Wat Paknam Jolo, who is a co-developer of the temple. There is a Thip Wihan boat prominently located in the center. On the boat there is the Buddha image. Somdej Phraya Yommarat and Phraya Yommarat are enshrined in the Wihan that you first enter after coming off the ferry.

The temple is expanding and will be an amazing silver with marble inside when it’s completed. It was a lot of fun to see how the temple is being built as well as seeing what it will look like upon completing. It’s a bit off the tourist trail for western tourists but it’s very popular for the Thais to come and make merit.
