    CORRECT INFORMATION The easiest, the cheapest and the fastest way to reach Wat Paknam from the centre (Sukhumvit) is to take the MRT (blue line metro) and get off at the "Bang Phai" station and then walk for 5 minutes through the Phet Kasem 19 Alley.

    I went there with my friend last week. There were no other tourists around because we were there really early like 7 or 8 am, can't remember exactly. Because we took the night bus from Koh Samui to Bangkok and arrived pretty early at 5 am. So we had some time to kill. It's a beautiful Buddha, really impressive.
