A working Buddhist temple in the Bo Put area near Bangrak Pier, with a modest chedi and shaded grounds. Less visited than the Big Buddha temple a short distance away, which makes it a calmer place to observe local religious life. Free entry. Standard temple dress code applies — knees and shoulders covered. A natural short stop on the way to or from Big Buddha Pier.
