Samut Sakhon - Wat Lang San Prasit

Wat Lang San Prasit is located in Samut Sakhon by the banks of the Tha Chin River. It is a new Wat but has some really beautiful buildings including a very decorative Ubosot and wihans. There is also a very picturesque water feature with footbridge linking the public area of the temple to the Bot. A huge naga stretches through the water and under the bridge.

To the left of the ubosoth there is a tall statue of Phra Sangkachai.

Location
Situated on the Tha Chalom peninsula the Wat is accessed by heading south from Samut Sakon on Highway 35 crossing the Tha Chin River and turning left to follow the road to Tha Chalom.
There is ample parking at the Wat and no charges are made for admission.

Address:  Loet Prasoetthikhun Rd., Mueang Samut Sakhon, Samut Sakhon


Recommendation ****

Salt field - Seawater are pumped into these fields and left to dry
Salt field - One can see the salt after the seawater have dried

I waited quite a while for a devotee to take this picture 






A large Phra Nak Prok by the bridge




Unfortunately the temple was vacant and the main ubosot locked
