Wat Lahn Boon (วัดลานบุญ), also transliterated Wat Lan Boon, is a Buddhist temple located along the 46 kilometer long canal Khlong Prawet Burirom (คลองประเวศบุรีรมย์) in Laht Krabang (ลาดกระบัง), a khet (เขต) or ‘zone’ (city district) in eastern Bangkok and until 1972 had the status of an amphur (อำเภอ) or provincial ‘district’ in the then still province of Minburi (มีนบุรี), which in 1931 was dissolved and incorporated into the capital jangwat (จังหวัด) or province Phra Nakhon (พระนคร) as an administrative subdivision, changing its status from an amphur or provincial district to a city district or zone known in Thai as a khet, together with Laht Krabang. Wat Lan Boon was established in 1897 and today covers an area of ​​21 rai, 2 ngan and 98 square wah, i.e. circa 3.4 hectares. It has a Chinese-style ubosot (อุโบสถ), i.e. an ordination hall, as well as a wihaan (วิหาร), i.e. a prayer hall, that houses the Luang Pho Phet (หลวงพ่อเพชร) Buddha image. There is also a large sala-style open pavilion of which the roof on the inside is richly decorated with colourful paintings with themes and scenes from Buddhism. The adjacent canal to the south of the temple is a popular spot for visitors to feed fish as a way to gain merit. The temple also calls itself Suan Pla Thammachat (สวนปลาธรรมชาติ), i.e. ‘Natural Fish Garden’. 回
