Located on a hill with a beautiful location, you can overlook the coastal city of Pattaya. The temple was built with unique architecture and is very typical of Thai culture. Very beautiful and dignified. The tour guide shared about the culture and spiritual beliefs here. The pagoda stands out with a majestic large golden Buddha image. 2 dragons spit out a 7-headed snake. A spiritual place you should visit once!So beautiful!..

Very majestic temple. Maintained really well beyond your expectations. It is a one of a kind temple to make you wonder how talented the Thai artists were when they created the art works in this temple. It is crowded on certain days if it is a holiday.
