★ ★ ★ ★ ★ As a tourist destination this is not too good. What you can look at is limited.
I am sure this is great for locals, but for visitors that aren’t Buddhist, don’t bother

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is quite a large temple with 15+ salas. Staff are helpful in guiding you through the processes as you pay respect etc. Most salas have aircon so it's no too hot. Located right next to the MRT so easy to reach.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ In this place, you will face the beautiful buddha statue and wonderful architect. By the way, you can see the top view from the church to city and you can go to SiamSquare and anyplace with MRT. It's easy for you to visit, because you can go by underground. By the way, you can go to donate for the dead body without coffin as well.
When my girlfriend suffers from something or doesn't feel good. I will bring her to donate in this place. It makes her happier and forget her bad thinking. I recommend you to come to this place. Pray for buddha, and donate for your people who are poor and don't have a coffin.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a unique royally sponsored temple in Bangkok's Silom District. The lower level has various merit making activities and an office where you can buy people who die destitute all the need for Buddhist funeral rights. About 500 baht when I used to buy one each Christmas. The upper level has an ordination hall and main temple. There is a narrow parking building in the back or pay 50 baht to park in the nice BTS carpark next door. There are basic toilets on the first level as well and taxis in front of the temple.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ For Donating Coffin.
Location Guide: Take metro to Samyam Station. The donation area for coffin is run by a foundation. IT IS NOT LOCATED WITHIN THE TEMPLE. It is on the right (facing the temple entrance) of the temple, you won’t miss it with a Wheelock ramp.
Process:
Enter into the premise and on the left are counters. Approach any vacant one and they will ask you to write your full name on the top of the pink slip. Highlight to the staff the amount to donate. To make things simpler, it’s 500 Baht per Coffin.
The staff will issue a receipt and write the amount and name. You can choose to donate more like 1000 Baht for 2 coffins. They will pass your back the pink slip and the receipt.
Walk behind the counter and you will see people applying glue (on the table) and walk towards the yellow boxes (coffin) and stick on it and offer a goodwill prayer. The staff will remove them periodically.
Once finish, walk out and Turn Left to the temple. You can lit the receipt on the candle and put it burning in the urn beside.
