Your friendly neighborhood temple





We went to Wat Tat Thong because we had noticed it from a BTS stop.  It was an interesting experience - it wasn't so elaborate as a lot of the more famous temples we've seen in Bangkok, but it had more of a community feel to it - it had an elderly center as part of its complex, for instance, and when we were there we saw a local enter and ask advice of the monk that was there.  It reminded me of community churches I've seen in Midwest America, and it felt more functional for that than some of the other temples we had previously seen.
