Wat Pailom Wat Pilom is another old temple which was constructed during the late Ayutthaya period. It has beautiful architecture and located not far from Wat Poramaiyikawat. Wat Pailom is a Forest Temple, not to be confused with a small Temple with the same name on Koh Kred (a small island near Bangkok Noi, where you find lots of nice pottery shops). This is a Buddha image of this Forest Temple. I regret to say that much of the forest at Wat Pailom has disappeared between my first and second visit to this fine place. Still, the unique number of Asian Bill Storks makes a visit to this place more than worthwhile! According to the book on Koh Kret there are 6 temples on this tiny island : 1) Wat Poramaiyikawat 2) Wat Chimplee 3) Wat Sao Tong Thong 4) Wat Pai lom 5) Wat Pa Laylai 6) Wat Salakul
