Discover Khlong Madua

Wat Ratsabamrung is located near Khlong Madua. The Buddhist temple is also called Wat Hong Kai and remains in use. For your travel planning, it brings together a cultural landmark, two differently described ubosots, and the Buddha image Luang Pho To. There is also a specific route description via Setthakit 1 Road. These details help distinguish the temple, its buildings, and the access route, rather than treating them as a single point of reference.

The temple and the old ubosot

Wat Ratsabamrung and Wat Hong Kai are two names for the same Buddhist temple. The old ubosot should be distinguished from the temple as a whole: it is abandoned and severely dilapidated. Continued use refers to the temple as a whole, not to the condition of the old hall. When naming the site, Wat Ratsabamrung and Wat Hong Kai refer to the temple; “old ubosot,” by contrast, refers to the individual hall. This makes clear which part of the site is in use and which is severely dilapidated.

Luang Pho To and the two ubosots

The Buddha image Luang Pho To connects the old and new ubosots through its relocation: it was moved from the old ubosot to the new one. The old ubosot was therefore the image’s former location, and the new one its destination. This connection helps distinguish the two halls and understand how the image relates to each of them. For travelers interested in the temple, this is a specific cultural connection: in addition to the name of the wat, an image and its transfer between the halls are also identified.

Getting there via Setthakit 1 Road

Access to Wat Ratsabamrung is via Setthakit 1 Road, also Highway 3091 (Samut Sakhon–Krathum Baen). Just before Krathum Baen, turn left and continue for about one kilometer; the temple is then on the right. The approximate distance refers to the drive after turning and is intended as a guide, not an exact measurement. The road name and Krathum Baen help you identify the turnoff. As route directions may change, check the route locally before setting out.

Hotel search and travel planning

When choosing a hotel for a trip to Khlong Madua, you can consider Wat Ratsabamrung as a cultural point of reference. If you include the temple in your travel plans, treat getting there as a separate step. Then compare details of specific hotel offers based on what matters for your stay. This lets you coordinate the temple route and your accommodation choice with your travel plans.
