A stunning, big temple with lots to see. We really enjoyed our visit here. Please be respectful by wearing clothing that covers your knees, shoulders and torso, and speaking quietly.

Pretty large Temple, nicely built, surrounded by water. Kids can buy a good amount of food to feed the fish in the pond. Chickens are there too :) the temple itself is pretty large. Would recommend it totally if you want to see a Buddhist temple.
