Overview
About Wat Samakkhi Pracharam
Wat Samakkhi Pracharam (วัดสามัคคีประชาราม), also known locally as Wat Thung Klom, is a Buddhist temple in Nong Prue. Government tourism information places it in Moo 14 and records its registration in 1973. The same account describes an ordination hall whose roof carries the message “Unity of Power”, linking the temple’s name to community harmony. It describes sand-pagoda building on 15 April and the Wan Hab offering procession on 17 April. Confirm the current year’s programme before planning around these traditions. Contact and opening records conflict: government visitor information lists 038 276 407 and daily opening from 07:00, while Maps lists 036 451 289 and a different weekly schedule. Confirm the temple’s current contact and access locally before a dedicated visit.
