Amazing 3 Temple
Wat Bang Riang
No visit to Thailand would be complete without a visit to a Buddhist temple. On our Amazing 3 Temple Tour Khao Lak, we'll take you to three very special temples. What could be so different about a Buddhist temple that you need to visit three? While all three temples are Buddhist, each temple is unique in its design, location, and function. Join us on our full-day temple tour to breathtaking locations and gain a deeper insight into Thailand's most widely practiced religion.
Thai Buddhist temples are often built in the most impressive settings. This is no exception to the rule at
Wat Tham Phaya Nakarad, also known as the Dragon Cave Temple or Naga Cave. It's located in a cave high on a mountain, and the views of the surrounding area are simply spectacular. It's no wonder a solitary monk chose this amazing spot for his peaceful and tranquil meditation.
People in Thailand traditionally view Buddhism not as an organized religion, but as a way of life. Tolerance, compassion, and empathy for all living beings is a hallmark that most people follow, and this may be the main reason why we enjoy visiting Thailand so much. At
Wat Bang Riang, the Chinese Buddhist bodhisattva Quan Yin is enshrined on the same temple grounds as Buddha, with an enchanting panoramic view as a backdrop.
In Thailand, developing good karma is an important part of daily life. Volunteering, donating to temples and charities, and helping individuals or communities in need are of paramount importance in traditional Thai Buddhist culture. The construction of stunning, giant statues and elaborate temples requires a great deal of time, effort, and financial resources, which are usually raised through donations from the local community.
Most temple construction projects are funded by thousands of donors, but occasionally a single person or family raises all the funds needed to build a temple or shrine for the local community. We'll take you to
Wat Manee Sri Mahathat Temple to see the colossal statue of the highly revered monk Phor Than Khlai. Of the 100 million Thai baht construction cost, 80% was financed by a single man who had a spiritual calling to build the temple! The remaining funding came from his family and close friends.
