Wat Khao Sanam Chai

Whatever you do, don't just go to the main Temple building. Walk up the 150 meter small path to the Pagoda for the most magnificent views. You can pretty much get a 360 degree view if you go onto both parts East u0026 West of this huge bare rock on which the Pagoda is placed. But for those who suffer from vertigo, beware. You have precipitous drops from either side of the rock. They placed railings to stop you falling, but they only came up to my upper thigh.
There is a nice little Bodhi Tree here and several shrines along the path. Quite a strong breeze at the top straightening the flags and creating soothing sounds with the Wind Chimes. I was here around 9.45am and there was no one else for the full hour I was there.
Definitely worth a visit, steep road up and not too much space for parking cars, though plenty for motorcycles.

Absolutely Stunning! This is a beautiful temple complex. It is situated on several adjoining hilltops. The ubolsot appears closed but this is to keep the monkeys out. You can open the door and enter. Open a window or two to get some light and it is very beautiful inside.

There are many shrines and monuments spread throughout the grounds. The areas are meticulously maintained and very beautiful. There are frequent signs reminding visitors not to kill anything or injure the plants.

The panoramic views of the surrounding areas are really good. This is the highest temple I could see near Hua Hin. There are great photo-ops here at many locations. They have also set aside some designated viewpoints as well.

The monks at this monastery do not touch money and are very sincere. It is a learning center with a meditation center at the bottom (sort of separate by lay people). Nice view usually open to the public (for free) during day light hours.
