Today’s itinerary War Phu Khao Thong
This first temple was recommended to us by the hotel and was not in the list of temples we wanted to visit that day.
Nevertheless, beautiful surprise with this not very touristic temple , totally deserted and with its very well preserved Buddha.
Fisherman’s Village
Shit : skip it.
Mae Nan Chinese Temple
Very nice little temple near the village. Not to be missed, mainly for exteriors.
Wat Phra Yao
A large statue of Buddha on a promontory, very popular unfortunately. To do for the view on the bay just behind.
War Plai Laem
Very beautiful complex with a smiling Buddha, a magnificent temple and a Buddha with multiple hands , absolutely superb.
Big summer vacations in Thailand
Bangkok D-1: Wat Pho
Bangkok D-2 : Poorly known temples
