วัดป่าสิริวัฒนวิสุทธิ์ ต. ทำนบ อ. ท่าตะโก จ. นครสวรรค์
15.5938195,100.5082533 = 15°35’37.8″N 100°30’29.7″E

6.0 km by air or 10.3 km by road from Tha Tako bus station (15.6372207,100.4785008 = 15°38’14.0″N 100°28’42.6″E)
I paid 70 Baht for mocy from bus station (11:38-53) and returned by hitchhiking. (From Nakon Sawan bus station to Tha Tako bus station about 1 hour and 30 Baht by bus.)

Temple is on a mountain, view when approaching:

I started at the top, one of the various Bodhi Gaya replicas in Thailand:

There is a fake railway station with a train and signals and a collection of old railway stuff.

A double Buddha without face! An educated Thai friend says this is a symbol of inward mediation (no see, no hear, no speak). I haven’t seen anything similar before.
