Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen
Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen (, <small>RTGS:</small> Wat Paknam Phasicharoen) is a royal wat ('temple') located in Phasi Charoen district, Bangkok, at the Chao Phraya River. The temple underwent a major change after Luang Pu Sodh Candasaro became abbot, from a temple with only thirteen monks that was nearly abandoned, to a prosperous center of education and meditation practice with five hundred monks (the highest in Thailand at the time) and hundreds of mae chi. It is a large and popular temple, and is the origin of the Dhammakaya tradition.
