Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

There are more than 40,000 Buddhist temples (wat) in Thailand, and as I commented in another review, once you have visited the first dozen or so they tend to become a blur through their sameness.
Not so with Wat Paknam Jolo which with its all-gold exterior and interior is in sharp contrast to the majority ofl red, green, blue and gold temples. I believe it is the only all-gold wat in Thailand.
Bang Khla is about a 30 minute drive from Chachoengsao and is well worth the effort.

If there is a pure white temple in Chiangrai, there is a golden temple in Chachongsao province. It's over a hundred kilometers away from bangkok. This temple would make you think of the story KING MIDAS.

Recently visited this temple(June 2016). Stunning and atmospheric.
Thai temples can vary in quality all the way up to very good or great. This one I am pleased to say is at the high end.
Deserves a gold medal!
There is a waterway nearby and the whole place especially the temple feels peaceful and inspiring.

While I don't regret making a trip here, it was slightly underwhelming to be honest. I expected something dazzling and shiny. It seemed instead to be cheap gold paint painted on white cement walls. The side chapel with its paintings were a little more interesting to me.

This is one of those attractions that leave an indelible memory in one's travels. The gold colored temple is a photographer's paradise when walking around the four sides. I viewed the inside of the temple from the open doorway as the several steps for entry are challenging for the handicapped. Nonetheless, the outer building is definitely worth taking the trip.

A gold temple.
This Temple is the only one in the whole of Thailand to have a gold coloured ordination hall.
