Really nice experience, very beautiful and well-kept. I would highly recommend getting a little bowl of fish food next to the temples for 10 baht and feeding the catfish in the lake - its definitely an interesting experience, and super cheap considering the entertainment you get.

First stop on our island tour. Our guide said he likes to start here to calm is brought to the group for a good day ahead. Well depending upon if you are religious or not, you can choose to believe this, but we certainly had a good day visiting lots of cool places and having an amazing lunch.
