The wat is situated on a hill 5 kms inland from Bang Saray in Sattahip District, Chonburi. Also known as the ‘Temple of Mercy’, it seems that the ordination of ladies is a frequent occurrence. It is not well sign-posted, so you will need to follow your app route as you approach the hill. Once up there you have a partial view as far as the coast, and also an unobstructed view inland. The grounds have several mondops (pavilions) to explore and many Buddha statues in gold.
The large Buddha on the hill is sea-green in online pictures, but what white when I was there. . |
