    (Translated by Google) It is a unique place that is 30 minutes drive from the center of Pattaya city. If you purchase tickets for 50 tickets at the ticket office, you will be filled with statues of historical, historical, and cultural figures from the front yard. The sculptures are described very realistically, which also makes them feel artistic. If you take off your shoes and go inside, you can see Buddhist statues of Buddhist sutra, blue dragon, On the second floor, there was a good feeling of appreciation because there was a sister of the Taoism of the Taoism that I knew well. There are historical figures such as Chinese Emperors, Qin Shi Huang, and Wei in the outer courtyard, and there are sculptures of various martial arts from the Shaolin Temple. On the third floor, there are paintings of Thai ancient figures. Overall, it's worth watching once (Original) 유.불.도교가 한꺼번에 어우러져 있는 사당으로 파타야 도심에서 자동차로 30분 거리에 있는 아주 독특한 장소입니다. 매표소에서 50밧 주고 티켓을 구매하여 입장하면 입구 앞마당에서 부터 유.불.도교의 역사적인 인물들이 조각상으로 가득 채워져 있습니다. 조각상들이 아주 사실적으로 묘사되어 있어 예술적 가치도 느끼게 합니다. 신발을 벗고 안으로 들어가면 불교의 사천상,청룡.백호.주작.현무의 사방신을 위시하여 진시황의 병용등 이름을 알수 없는 수많은 군상들이 웅장하게 정리되어 있습니다. 이층에는 한쪽에 제가 잘 아는 도교의 여동빈신선이 자리에 있어 감상의 묘미가 있었습니다. 이층 밖 마당에는 중국의 황제들, 진시황.유방등 역사의 인물들이 있고 소림사의 무승들이 각종 무술 모습의 조각상들이 있습니다. 3층에는 태국의 고대 인물상들이 그림으로 장식되어 있습니다. 전체적으로 한번은 꼭 볼만하다고 평가합니다

    Built and stocked by a Chinese Thai businessman the place is impressive with its rich Chinese themed Buddhist statues, paintings and artwork. A rich and eclectic range of metal and jade artifacts compliment the many beautiful objects on display. Best spot outside of China to marvel at so many top grade museum exhibits. Do not miss the opportunity to visit and marvel at this collection!!!!!

(Original) шикарный музей!!! очень ухоженный, опрятный, аккуратный, очень мало времени дал экскурсовод на посещение, я расстроена осталась - не все рассмотрела, т.к. там очень много интересностей!!! красиво, ярко, уютно..надо закладывать на него минимум 1,5 часа..или не слушать гида, а самому ходить по нему.

  • 4/5 Inna N. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Due to the complete lack of explanation in English, the identical design of the sculptures and their multiplicity resembles a warehouse store. The location, however, is excellent, near the lake. Wander and have a bite of soup after a tiring road. (Original) Из-за полного отсутствия пояснений на английском, одинакового дизайна скульптур и их многочисленности напоминает магазин-склад. Локация, впрочем, отличная, рядом озеро. Побродить и перекусить супчиком после утомительной дороги самое то.

    (Translated by Google) Entrance to the temple will cost 50 baht per person, suggest that you should visit once. Because inside the temple there are objects that may not be worthless, and we may not be able to easily see each other. The price is definitely worth it. Inside the temple is very cool. There are many parts to visit, the top of which is Phra Phuttha Chinnarat set as the Buddha image and on the side is the Buddha's relics and the relics placed, which can be worshiped. At the bottom there is a room that has a collection of wooden tables and chairs that used to be certified by the King of King Rama IX, as well as rare souvenirs. Antiques in Thailand and China It is a treasure that has so much value that it may be invaluable today. The inside chamber contains a replica of the founder of this temple. (Original) การเข้าชมภายในวิหารจะเสียค่าบำรุงคนละ 50บาท แนะนำว่าควรเข้าไปชมสักครั้ง เพราะภายในวิหารนั้นมีวัตถุที่อาจไม่เมินค่าไม่ได้และเราอาจจะไม่มีโอกาสได้เห็นกันง่ายๆ ราคาเข้าคุ้มค่าแน่นอน ภายในวิหารเย็นสบายมาก มีหลายส่วนให้เข้าเยี่ยมด้านบนสุดจะมีพระพุทธชินราชตั้งเป็นพระประธานและด้านข้างจะมีพระบรมสารีริกธาตุ และพระธาตุ ตั้งประดิษฐานอยู่สามารถเข้าไปกราบสักการะได้ บริเวณด้านล่างจะมีห้องที่รวบรวมชุดโต๊ะเก้าอี้ไม้ที่เคยรับรองในหลวงรัชกาลที่ 9 ตั้งไว้ให้ได้ชมกันรวมไปถึงของที่ระลึกหายาก ของโบราณทั้งในประเทศไทยและประเทศจีน นับว่าเป็นของล้ำค่าที่มีคุณค่ามากมายจนอาจจะประเมินค่าไม่ได้ในปัจจุบัน ห้องด้านในมีรูปจำลองท่านผู้ก่อตั้งวิหารแห่งนี้ขึ้นมาสามารถเข้าไปเยี่ยมชมสักการะได้
