This place no longer functions as a Temple since it was bought by Charlermchai Kositpipat, a famous Thailand artist / architect.
The most famous point here is the wall interior of the Temple where murals of Buddha are joined together by Doraemon, Pikachu, Superman, Spider-man, and other pop culture figures. We are not allowed to take picture in the Temple, but you can try googling the pictures online.
Yes it is divisive, yet it also highlights how beautifully tolerant Thai culture is. Can you imagine what would happen if somebody would try to do the same thing with an ex-sacred place of the largest religion in Indonesia? I believe that person would be persecuted and maybe even killed by the mass.
