    Whatever you do, don't just go to the main Temple building. Walk up the 150 meter small path to the Pagoda for the most magnificent views. You can pretty much get a 360 degree view if you go onto both parts East & West of this huge bare rock on which the Pagoda is placed. But for those who suffer from vertigo, beware. You have precipitous drops from either side of the rock. They placed railings to stop you falling, but they only came up to my upper thigh. There is a nice little Bodhi Tree here and several shrines along the path. Quite a strong breeze at the top straightening the flags and creating soothing sounds with the Wind Chimes. I was here around 9.45am and there was no one else for the full hour I was there. Definitely worth a visit, steep road up and not too much space for parking cars, though plenty for motorcycles.

    Absolutely Stunning! This is a beautiful temple complex. It is situated on several adjoining hilltops. The ubolsot appears closed but this is to keep the monkeys out. You can open the door and enter. Open a window or two to get some light and it is very beautiful inside. There are many shrines and monuments spread throughout the grounds. The areas are meticulously maintained and very beautiful. There are frequent signs reminding visitors not to kill anything or injure the plants. The panoramic views of the surrounding areas are really good. This is the highest temple I could see near Hua Hin. There are great photo-ops here at many locations. They have also set aside some designated viewpoints as well.

    Another temple perched high on a hill in the Takieb area. The temple itself is hard to view due to its location but there is a short walk to the pergoda which has incredible panoramic views. Well kept and maintained. Worth a visit if just for the pergoda and views.

    Under appreciated. Pagoda and temple lit up at night. Can see from the southern beach. Amazing 360 degree views in daytime from pagoda. Moderate uphill from limited parking area. But views are worth it

    The monks at this monastery do not touch money and are very sincere. It is a learning center with a meditation center at the bottom (sort of separate by lay people). Nice view usually open to the public (for free) during day light hours.

    Great views of Hua Hin. The temple was shut unfortunately.

  • 5/5 Theo van R. 1 year ago on Google
    This is the very first temple that we went to where a monk would explain to us why it's better to do certain things in a certain way. My wife that practices Buddhism way longer than me has no recollection of another monk or even school doing the same. The temple rather receives goods, food, drinks and water as donations but can't give you a blessing for food related items if they are eating or have eaten their afternoon meal. That will be done by proxy the next morning. The view on the top is very nice and shows you Hua Hin on one side and Kao Tao on the other side.
