The Ban Hood/Man Faat/Wan Fo (Ten Thousand Buddha) Pagoda is the focal point within the Kek Lok Si complex, so... one and the same thing.

That's cool, Peach. When I looked at that article I thought the Ban Hood Pagoda was different from the Kek Lok Si temple. Perhaps teams got directed there looking for 153 steps and it was the wrong location after all.
