Wat Paknam Phasi Charon is a roval temple located in the Phasi Charon district, on the banks of several Bangkok canals. Mostly known to Thais, ti has become a little more popular with foreign tourists since the construction in 2012 of a big stupa with a superb vault on the top floor. In 2017, began the construction of a large 64-meter tall Buddha image in front of the stupa. It will be the tallest Buddha image in Bangkok and should be completed in the middle of 2020. In term of photography, there are so many good ways to enjoy this temple, you should definitely walk around and visit thevisit the canals to have many good views of the giant buddha. Another good vantage point would be directly from a boat. For this the best way is to jump on a water taxi. Of course you should visit inside the temple too to see the green pagoda which is very impressive.
