Today’s itinerary

Wat Ratcha Thammaram

Superb temple made entirely of clay with incredible sculptures and superbly maintained. An architecture and a style that you will not see anywhere else in Thailand

Guan Yu Statue & Temple

Take a detour to this Chinese temple which features an impressive statue of Guan Yu in its facade. The temple has little interest; it is very small.

Wat Samret

Temple totally deserted at the time of our passage, rather traditional, but do not miss the small lying Buddha and the monks who venerate him.

Wat Kunaram

This temple although very frequented by tourists has a very limited architectural interest. Its only interest: a mummified monk for the amateurs. Not for me.

Na Mueang Waterfall

Nice, but the water is really not clean. Do not swim in it.

Tarnim Magic Garden

Very soothing garden in the middle of the mountain, with small waterfalls and traditional statues. Not in the guidebooks, but I highly recommend it.
