Wat Rakhang Khositaram was a residence of Somdet Phra Phutthachan (To Phromrangsi) who was the Supreme Patriarch in the reign of King Rama IV. He was very highly respected and had a comprehensive knowledge of Pali and Buddhist teachings as can be seen in his composition of the Phra Khatha Chinabanchon (Jinapanjara) liturgy widely chanted among Thai Buddhists.
Location
Wat Rakhang Khositaram is located on Arun Arnarin Road, Sirirat Sub-district, Bangkok Noi District, Bangkok. Take bus no. 19. 57 or ferries to the Tha Rot Fai Pier, Wang Lang Pier or hop off at the Tha Chang Pier then take a ferry to cross the river to the Wat Rakhang Pier
Address: Bangkok Noi, จังหวัด กรุงเทพมหานคร Thailand
Recommendation *****
 |
| Current abbot's house |
 |
| These large size Somdej are made from wood beams from the old temple. Only 99pcs and they are to be used for fund-raising of the construction of a huge Somdet Phra Phutthachan Toh's statue by the river |
 |
| It's really a beauty.... |
 |
| Somdet Phra Phutthachan Toh's model - A huge statue will be constructed by the river |
 |
| Current abbot - Chao Khun Tieng, he just went for cataract operation. Hence wearing the sunglass |
 |
| Please note that it would take special arrangement to meet him for blessing. Even local people don't get to see him so easily |
 |
| A Somdej I rented personally from CK Tieng for 2000 baht. The money will be used to help out the poor. It was said that CK Tieng is a very strict monk - he takes a meal per day only and even for chanting of amulets he takes years if not months. His Somdejs were believe to be as efficacious as a WRK. Note his signature "*" on the left side of the amulet |
 |
| CK Tieng's work area where he chants his amulets |

| I was back to pay respect to CK Tieng after having dreamt about him giving me 2 pcs of 5 inch somdej. CK says it's true, he is intending to make a new batch of it. That's so amazing |

| It was impossible to park at Wat Rakhang due to some events going on so we had to take ferry from across the bank instead |
 |
| Passing of funds for some amulets that he gave me, but I rent it off and passed him back the full amount instead :) |
