This temple is located at Tambon Bang Ta Then,
Amphoe Song Phi Nong, 43 kilometres from the town on the way to
Bangkok. It houses the largest metal cast Buddha image of the world
called Phra Phutthakhodom, which has a lap width of 10 metres and a
height of 26 metres.

You should be alright catching any bus from Bangkok that is heading towards Suphanburi. Make sure it is clear that you want to go to Wat Pai Rong Wua and they will tell you when to get off. Then, just take any passing public transport on the minor road. Other people say you can catch bus 68 from Mochit Bus Station straight to the temple, but that is not confirmed yet. BTW, the bus is not air-conditioned. Best to have the name of the temple written down in Thai. You shouldn't have a problem.
Apparently there is also a boat trip from Tha Chang in Bangkok that leaves at the weekend at 7 a.m. But, I haven't been able to confirm that yet. You could also hire a taxi for the day which will take you door to door and back again for about 1,200 baht.
