    Peaceful place close the sea with sea breeze and great view. Worth a visit because nothing more to do in Hua Hin. There are some food stalls and cafe before the temple entrance, selling dry fruits and seafood.

    A Buddhist temple completely built into the rocks of Khao Tao. It consists of several levels each connected via different paths. A sign even suggests to go to Sai Noi beach on the other side of the mountain.

    Very beautiful temple complex. Lots of places for walking. There are different statues of Buddha. There is a Big Buddha. Great view from the observation deck. Be sure to come here and expect 2 hours of pastime.

    Nice place with real monks and lots of Buddha statues, laughing Buddha's and small temples but too much walk as you walk to one place and then get down the stairs and then climb steps to another place which almost happened 3 times so little strenuous. Need to choose the time of the day wisely so that it gets less tiresome and more fun. All the people at temple offer you scent sticks and small yellow flower garlands to offer to Buddha's and give you little details about the God's there which is interesting to know - so many forms of Buddha. This hill is also called as Turtle hill and there is Buddha statue riding on turtle here.

    A nice and well-kept temple. The territory is quite large and there are several points with interesting sculptures. There is something to see. Overall, visiting the temple was a very pleasant and memorable moment in my trip.

    It’s a nice place to visit but not really special. The small temple in the water is beautiful. After a short walk you will see the big temple. The location is great with a nice view over the water in the direction of Hua Hin. There is a small harbor good for a few colorful photo. The temple itself needs some maintenance but as said the view is very nice. No parking costs and no entrance fee.

    Wat Khao Toa Huhin is a beautiful temple located in the Hua Hin district of Prachuap Khiri Khan province in Thailand. The temple is situated on a hilltop overlooking the Gulf of Thailand, providing breathtaking views of the ocean and the surrounding countryside. The temple features a stunning golden Buddha statue, which stands tall at over 20 meters high and is visible from miles away. The temple grounds are well-manicured and feature several smaller Buddha statues, pagodas, and prayer halls. Visitors can climb a staircase to reach the temple's main entrance, which is adorned with intricate carvings and colorful murals. The temple is a popular destination for both locals and tourists, and it offers a peaceful and serene atmosphere for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

    Nice place to visit, by the sea with ongoing breeze! A huge Guan Yin statue at one side of the place the other is a turtle cave. Came in the morning on Friday, not many people. Staff and monks speaks basic English!

🫤 NOT RECOMMENDED. Will not go back even if I was paid to. Spectacular view. But that's the only good part about this place. 1. Too expensive for what you get. 2. Management is horrible.

👍 The journey up by motorbike is quite difficult for first trying. But the flower garden at the top is forbidden to take up by yourself. Because the road is very narrow and steep. There is a service fee of 50 baht per aldult person. This service fee includes admission to the flower bed. Considered to...
