Dwight Jason RonanJanuary 28, 2016MUST VISIT: One of the most visually stunning (and weirdest) Buddhist sites I've seen in Southeast Asia. Try to go here early in the morning or late in the afternoon (before 5 PM) to avoid the crowd.Upvoted 1 week ago
TingDecember 12, 2014Beautiful especially from a distance, all white and glittering as the pieces of mosaic mirrors reflect the sunlight. Worth a visit en route to Chiangrai.
Top KoaysomboonAugust 5, 2011Inside the main hall: On the wall facing the Buddha image, try look for famous characters like Doraemon, Sailor Moon, Spider Man, etc hidden in the wall painting. Each wall took 2-3 yrs to complete!Upvoted 6 days ago
Sander ZuurhoutFebruary 19, 2020Very beautiful place, more beautiful from the outside than inside. Mind the gruesome details of hands and skeletons when walking over the stairs. Must-visit!
J-OSLFebruary 14, 2017So picturesque temple built by the Thai national artist, Chalermchai Kositpipat, worths to visit!

Adena DeMonteOctober 4, 2013Possibly the weirdest place I've ever visited. A must-see in person. The Thai people do support a vivid and horrific imagination. Fascinating.
Quentin LafonJuly 28, 2014This is one of the most magical temple of all Thailand ! Try to go there early to avoid the crowd.- Simple DiscoveriesJuly 20, 2016You can take a local bus from the main bus station for 20 baht, but the return service is irregular. We waited over an hour and then started the 14km walk back.
CT BahijahMay 2, 2017A beautiful wat but would be better if there are written explanation on the history of the wat around the area.
Yuen HawDecember 18, 2016A Buddhist temple which is one of its kind in the world. Truly a sight to behold.- Ayshea HJanuary 11, 2019Absolutely stunning place, gets super busy though. Go early to avoid the tours.

Henni TernessDecember 30, 2010Ask your tour driver to leave you there and pick you up on way back from other sites instead. We spent all day there and skipped several other tour stops for it. So beautiful!
