TEMPLES - CHURCHES AND MOSQUES  -  Wat Kalayanamit  
วัดกัลยาณมิตร วรมหาวิหาร  
 Address:   371/6 Soi Wat Kanlaya 371/6 Soi Wat Kanlaya  
 Known as:   Wat Mangkon Kamalawat    
 Description:   Despite dominating the western bank of the Chao Phraya River with its giant temple structure, Wat Kalayanamit is often overlooked by tourists, city guides, and even locals. The nearby Wat Arun is much more famous and acts as a magnet, drawing the crowds away from some of the other nearby Thonburi attractions and temples. If you want a more tranquil, less touristy alternative, head to Wat Kalayanamit, a temple particularly famous for its enormous seated golden Buddha inside the main building. 
Getting to Wat Kalayanamit in Thonburi is easy: in fact, it even has its own pier. Take a ferry there from the opposite side at Ratchinee Pier or hop on one of the many the Chao Phraya express boats that make their way up and down the river every day (and ask for ‘Wat Kalayanamit’.)
Opening Hours: Daily 06:00-21:00
Location: At Kalayanamit Pier
