Wat Taklam, Buddhist temple in Nong Bon, Thailand
Wat Taklam is a Buddhist temple featuring traditional Thai architectural elements, with decorative details adorning the main prayer hall and surrounding structures. The buildings are arranged along Chaloem Phrakiat Rama 9 Road and include various shrines and worship spaces throughout the grounds.
The temple was established at this location and developed into a spiritual center in southeastern Bangkok. Over time it became an important part of the religious life in the Nong Bon district.
The temple connects to the story of Mae Nak, a folklore figure whose tale of eternal love draws visitors seeking blessings for relationships and good fortune. People come here to find strength and hope in their daily lives.
The temple is easiest to reach by motorcycle taxi from O Nut Station, with the main entrance located on Chaloem Phrakiat Rama 9 Road. It helps to check local visitor information before arriving to find the best time for your visit.
The site has a remarkable feature: a mechanical skeleton dressed in prayer garments that surprises many visitors. Beyond that, releasing fish, eels, and baby turtles into the adjacent river is encouraged as an act of merit-making.
