Big Buddha viewing platform — Wat Paknam area
Mapped viewing-platform point near Wat Paknam’s giant Buddha, with a street-address and administrative-boundary discrepancy to check when approaching on foot.

This viewing-platform marker is near Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen’s giant Buddha. Bangkok’s city learning guide identifies views of the Buddha from the temple and neighbouring canal area; there are several separate vantage points nearby, so use the exact pin when planning your approach.
The map lists 838 Soi Thoet Thai 26, Talat Phlu, Thon Buri, Bangkok 10600. Current point-based boundary mapping places the retained coordinates on the Pak Khlong Phasi Charoen side of the administrative boundary. Street-address labels and the map point therefore need care: confirm the final walking approach locally instead of relying on the postcode alone.
Current platform access, opening hours, admission charges and step-free access are unconfirmed. Check the entrance and any permission or purchase requirements before entering or climbing to a viewing area. Nearby café hours and general temple-opening times do not establish this particular platform’s access arrangements.
