Wat Phailom

This temple is a sanctuary for the open-billed stork. It is located on the bank of the Chao Phraya River in Changwat Pathumthani. From December to June, thousands of these storks come to nest in the temple area. Those interested in ornithology, should they be in Thailand during these months, should not miss the opportunity of a visit to this temple. Regular weekend cruise is organized by the Chao Phya Express Boat (Tel. 2225330) from Maharat Pier every Sunday at 8.00 am.
