ขนมจีนน้ำยาอร่อย ถนนคนเดิน

I had walk past this temple many times in the daylight hours and after walking through the city and visiting the various suggested temples, I had assumed at this point that it was just more of the same old, same old.....I could have never been more wrong in my life! after finishing a photoshoot on sunset at the neighbouring temple (Wat Chedi Luang Worawihan) I was out the gate to avoid the mobs of annoying tourists, something caught the corner of my eye. maybe it was the soft absent lighting on the plethora of flags lining the side of the actual temple structure, I can't say for sure but, I had this feeling of being drawn to the place.when I walked through the gates and delved further into the temple grounds I actually remember standing frozen and slacked jawed at what was there before me, not only visually but the deep sense of energy and peace in this place could simply not be denied.

Be sure to visit this temple during the Yee Peng festival and join their religious ceremony to witness their spectacular view of lanterns. It was surreal to see the whole things. And do come early as the compound is quite limited to hold the big crowd

This is a temple that many would not see. It is worth a visit. It is quite unique in that it is built of teak. It is in the lanna style and contains some temple bells, manuscripts and an interesting mosaic.
