Small Temple with beautiful view

#songkran2024 It is a temple with a wonderful and beautiful view, clear water, and lots of parking. It is a small temple at the end of the bay. Even it is small temple, you’ll probably love it because of the beautiful beaches around this temple. There is also a seafood restaurant next to it and you can enjoy sightseeing while eating with your family. You can also bring some foods or some drinks and enjoy the beautiful sunset.

A Hilltop Pagoda🫶🏻

#songkran2024 Wat Thang Sai is hilltop pagoda built in 1996 to commemorate the 50th year of King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s reign. The pagoda (Pramahatart Chedi Pakdepragard) is located on a headland (Tong Chai Mountain) about 3km outside the village of Ban Krut. Easily accessible by either motorbike, taxi, bicycle or on foot. There is parking at the top of the hill near the seated Buddha and it’s a short walk to the pagoda.

#songkran2024 OK...nothing to crazy for me during Songkran...hit the beaches daily. Started at Cha-Am Beach, with some Mocha and outstanding pastry at one of the local shops. Then had some great Vietnamese food in Hua Hin. There was some craziness going on in Hua Hin, but I stayed dry thank goodness. Next day headed South to beach hotel in Bang Sapan...World Cat...for great food, music, and beach. We also headed further south to Chumpon to the Temple, for some great seafood and beautiful beaches. In fact, we ended up at the most beautiful beach and water that I have been to in Southeast Asia. I didn't see other tourists for over a week...nice.

Wat Thang Sai is also translated as Tashi Temple, and the marble hall is open on two floors for free. Following the visits of local tourists and believers, although they do not understand Buddhism, they are deeply moved by holy Buddha statues, beautiful murals and beautiful windows and doors. The area inside the temple is not small, we just walked roughly in a circle, and it took about an hour to look at it. This is the first seaside cliff temple we visited in Thailand. It was decided to join the itinerary. It feels worthwhile.
