Wat Taling Chan

Wat Taling Chan is a Buddhist temple complex situated along a canal system in Bangkok, featuring traditional Thai structures and Buddha statues distributed across the grounds. The waterways integrate directly into the temple's layout and daily operations.

The temple earned registration as a historic site reflecting its role in Bangkok's western region during its agricultural period until the 1970s. This recognition marks the temple's importance in the area's earlier rural past.

Daily monk practices unfold across the grounds, visible to visitors walking through the temple spaces. This rhythm of monastic life connects closely to the waterways that shape the community's daily routines.

Reach the temple by boat through the canal network or by road from central Bangkok. Weekend markets in the surrounding area make it easy to combine a temple visit with other activities.

Visitors can arrive by traditional long-tail boat and experience water-based worship, setting this temple apart from most urban temple complexes. These boat routes have served as pilgrimage pathways for generations.
