This is a quiet and spacious Buddhist temple, not too far from town. It’s a good place to offer prayers and spend time chanting. The atmosphere is peaceful and not crowded, which makes it easy to slow down and reflect. There are some mosquitoes, especially if you stay longer, so it’s good to be prepared. Overall, a very good place for prayer and chanting if you’re looking for calm away from the...

A great Buddhist temple in the middle of this beautiful city. It's right by a very major roadway therefore quite easy to access either through private or public transportations. Temple ground is quite huge, a full walk around can take a full 10 to 15 minutes. You get to observe rituals in this temple quite often and you see a lot of believers coming in and out regularly. There are some stalls sell...

This temple is a gem. Unfortunately it is not very popular but it deserves more attention. You need to come here with either a taxi or a grap. There are three floors. On first floor there is an amazing cafe/tea but you need to leave your shoes outside. There is also a souvenir store. You need approximately one hour. In the temple you cannot enter with shoes too.
