Riverside temple with guardian statues
This riverside temple mixes a calm, active atmosphere with plenty to look at, from the towering seated Buddha in the main hall to the colorful yaksha guardians at the entrance. It draws people for prayers tied to luck, health, wealth, and career luck, especially around Chinese New Year. Boat or car access, parking, restrooms, and coffee shops make the visit practical; the tradeoff is that it can feel busy without losing its quiet edge.

Wat Kanlayanamit Woramahawihan · Reviews
We came by boat and ended up spending longer there than I expected — the big seated Buddha is seriously impressive up close, and the guardian statues near the entrance make it feel a bit more lively than your usual temple stop.
Martin K. (2026)Wat Kanlayanamit Woramahawihan, located at 372 Arun Amarin Road in Thon Buri, is a magnificent temple known for its unique Thai-Chinese architecture and superb riverfront location. The temple houses one of the largest Buddha images in Thailand, built by King Rama III, which is currently viewable inside an under-construction area. The temple features beautiful mural art inside and on the outdoor ceilings, and also offers convenient parking, though many tourists might find taking a boat to be a more enjoyable option.
Ronnie W. (2026)This beautiful temple, situated next to the Chaopraya River, offers a serene and quiet atmosphere. The big Buddha statue, built by King Rama III, is a major attraction, and the temple grounds include a spacious parking area. Visitors can also enjoy a pleasant walk along the river, which leads to King Rama I Bridge. The temple combines ancient Chinese decorations with traditional Thai style, creating a stunning visual experience, although the presence of a few beggars around the temple might be a slight downside.
