I have been there so many times for my spiritual spirit of this temple. I was no disappointed of this temple even though it is a bit far from downtown but I have no feeling bad about it. Because I believe in spiritual of this temple and you can check your astrology and horoscope of your life and so many more you can thing of.

Wat Chao Arm was built in 1779 by King Taksin, a strong warrior for Thailand who won many victories. This is a real "working" temple, not a tourist site. The temple is not that famous for non-Thais and it's not spectacular in the tourist sense.
My Thai wife really wanted to go here and ask for my visa, as the temple is held to give you "victories". I was doubting Thomas but we went. We did all the traditional introductory formalities 1 - 2 - 3 and then went to see the monk. He knew what she wanted and said it would happen. That afternoon, the visa service rang and said my visa was granted but for a shorter stay. The "magic monk" had said it would not be exactly what we wanted.
Oh, and they have served a free lunch for many years but of course you can make a donation.
All in all a practical spiritual atmosphere to the place.
