Wat Bot Bon, Buddhist temple in Bang Khu Wiang, Thailand.

The temple structure features an original Ubosot from the late 18th century, restored with bright white walls that stand out against the surrounding landscape.

The temple gained recognition when monk Luang Po Sot developed the Thammakaya meditation method here in 1916, marking a significant period in Thai Buddhist practice.

Inside the temple, visitors can observe a portrait of Luang Po Sot under the porch and his golden effigy displayed in a transparent cube before the main Buddha statue.

The temple hosts a weekend market along the Khlong Om Nom canal where visitors can sample Thai noodles and snacks while watching boats pass by.

From the temple pier, a 500-meter boat ride leads to Wat Prang Luang, while the same destination requires an 8-kilometer journey by road.
