  1. Just came back from it. Inside and outside the main area is finished now! They still continue working, and changes are coming fast! On weekends busloads with Thai people come to visit: organised by villagers, bring a monk with them. Many from area Nakhon Sitamarat. Interesting to see that families donate the robe and go around the main Buddha statue after praying with one of the available monks. On this Sunday we saw every 15 minutes new groups , maybe 10 at the time, going around with the orange robes/cloth.The paintings are extremely detailed. The colours match, the main Buddha sits high above the people, wall decorations very colourfull & detailed. Garden is clean, green and in perfect condition.The hight might be 75 meters…I would like to learn more about this temple. If I find out, will tell here. (I live nearby in Manora Garden, Phangnga.)Worth the visit: 30 minutes from Phangnga or Ao Luk, 1 hour /1:15 from Krabi Ao Nang. A car is best, enough parking possibilities, good coffeeshop/snacks, very clean area. Since the main construction work is all finished, very easy to take beautiful pictures!The sign says now: 50 baht for tourists…

  2. The ultimate religious action worthwhile, the worship of Guangzhu, which is very expansive, should be seen during the morning or afternoon because of the rather hot noon.

  3. This temple is an Indian art where is so wonderful and attractive. Tourists can take a photo with this beautiful place. In addition, this place is landmark of Krabi where have to visit once.

  4. Recently completed this is one impressive temple. It appears almost indian while incorporating Thai buddhist aspects. Everywhere you go there were Thais and tourists taking photos of themselves near the artwork. Entrance is 50 baht for tourists which i felt was not an issue. Because of the size of the place, even with some thai buses arriving, at no stage did it feel crowded or rushed. Definitely worth a visit if you in the area.

  5. great place to visit nicely landscaped and great architecture a nice restaurant near by for sit and relax.

  6. Beautiful experience, beautiful temple! Extremely nice decorated! Quite relaxing place! There are two big statues as well nearby so don’t miss them!

  7. The Temple are holding an isolated Baby Elephant that they are strangling with Barbed wire ! Like the disgraced Tiger Temple, this temple strangles baby elephants into submission. These are not holy places , they are simply making money and torturing elephants in the process of collecting money from ignorant ‘worshippers’ avoid & tell them why!

  8. Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. Wow, wow, wow.Very hot day but water /drinks are sold on site.15 year old was impressed!As with all temples woman are asked to cover knees and shoulders but there are sarongs for you to use if you forget.Little bit of a drive from Krabi but so worth it.

  9. This temple was known by the villagers as Wat Bang Tong after the name of the small town in which it is located, but it was later renamed Wat Maha That Wachiramongkol. While the land was donated in 1940, the construction of the current version of Wat Bang Thong temple began in 1997. Abbot Phra Ratcha Vajirakon found the temple in such a damaged state that he preferred to demolish it completely except the ubosot and rebuild a new complex. Its highlight is the large golden chedi, Phra Mahathat Chedi.It is located approximately 70 kilometers from the city of Krabi.

  10. Very beautiful temple we had the chance to visit on our way to Krabi.Tickets can be bought on site (no wait) – admission is free for Thai citizens.
