These are pictures we took today during high tide at 9 a.m. The height of this tide was 3.8 metres. As you can see the temple building was completley surrounded by deep water.
Wat Khun Samut Wat Khun Samut
The abbot, Somnuk Attipanyo, gave us a tour of the temple grounds so that we could see the improvements that had been done since our last visit. The inner sea wall had been strengthened and a concrete walkway had been built on top.

Phra Somnuk told us that the rocks are transported by boat from Ratchaburi. The journey takes about 13 hours. It has cost 300,000 baht so far but will cost up to 1 million baht to finish.
