Pikka Floating Market and the Great Luang Por Pan

Wat Pikka, also known as Wat Pan Prasittharam, is located along the Pikka Canal, which borders two provinces: Bang Pakong District in Chachoengsao Province and Bang Bo District in Samut Prakan Province. The temple was initiated by Mr. Choei Khun Jeng and Mr. Sang Mi Sang on May 19, 1932. Initially, it was named 'Wat Pikka' but was later changed to 'Wat Pan Prasittharam' on May 14, 1956. This temple was built as a memorial to Luang Por Pan, inspiring faith among the people. Additionally, there is a small riverside market that stands out for selling community products. This market is a notable tourist attraction with a serene riverside atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly people, making it an ideal spot for short holiday visits. The Pikka Market is not open every day; it operates every Saturday, Sunday, and public holidays from 6:30 AM to 4:00 PM.
