“Experience the Buddhist way of life along the Prawet Buri Rom Canal, featuring the revered Chiang Saen-style Luang Pho Phet statue and one of the area's largest riverside sanctuaries for releasing fish.”

Lan Bun Temple is a prominent Buddhist temple located in Lat Krabang district, Bangkok, alongside the historic Prawet Burirom Canal. For decades, it has served as a spiritual center for the local community and remains an important religious landmark in the area.

Architecture and Sacred Image

The temple features elegant applied Thai architectural design, harmoniously blending traditional aesthetics with modern structure. The main ordination hall houses Luang Pho Phet, a revered Buddha image highly respected for granting blessings related to:

  • Career success

  • Prosperity and good fortune

  • Protection from harm

The serene interior atmosphere enhances meditation and spiritual reflection.

Riverside Sanctuary Zone

One of the temple’s most distinctive features is its spacious and well-organized riverside sanctuary area (Abhayadana zone). Visitors can release birds and fish, feed aquatic life, and perform merit-making rituals in a calm and refreshing canal-side setting.

The gentle breeze and shaded walkways reflect the harmonious relationship between temple, community, and waterway—an enduring lifestyle element even amid suburban development.

Weekend Market Experience

During weekends, Lan Bun Temple becomes especially lively thanks to its popular Lan Bun Temple Market, offering a wide selection of local food, snacks, and traditional products. Visitors can enjoy a complete cultural experience—making merit at the temple and strolling through the market to savor affordable Thai delicacies.

It is an ideal destination for families seeking a relaxing and meaningful weekend outing.

Cultural and Photographic Appeal

For photographers and artists, the temple offers captivating scenes that blend traditional canal-side life with contemporary Thai Buddhist culture. Wooden piers, canal bridges, and the golden Buddha image against the sky create visually compelling compositions.

We warmly invite you to recharge your spirit and accumulate merit by the refreshing canal breeze at Lan Bun Temple—a place where faith and simplicity come together beautifully in Lat Krabang.
