'Koh' means island, and this particular wat sits on a small island connected to the town by a causeway. Opposite is the ferry terminal for boats from Sriracha to Koh Si Chang. Sriracha is a busy, congested town, home to many Japanese expats working in the Laem Chabang port-refinery complex and nearby BOI industrial zones. The wat is a quiet haven ​and a popular place to escape the traffic.

Above: In the distance you can see (just about), Koh Si Chang, which makes for a nice day-trip.
