Wat Khao Takiap

its a nice temple. its been a bit run down however the site is still very interesting as you have some of the best sea views from the temple. there are many animals (dogs, monkeys, chickens) however be very aware to not bring ANY food out as the monkeys do tend to chase you down for any food. this especially includes not letting your children hold any food as the monkeys will steal it from them.

A shame that the temple surrounding are in need of repair and a good clean up,it gives the religious site a very run down picture.
The people are very friendly and helpful the monks always have a smile.
Just one thing, the monkeys rule there so watch out for your belongings or they are gone ... they are watchful 24/7

Very nice temple on top of a hill overlooking Hua Hin. The temple is kind of small but the surroundings and the view make a great experience of the visit. Many monkeys all around and on the stairs during the way up to the temple. The view on the bay is pretty stunning. There is a nice golden Buddha statue. Give it a try, worth the short trip from the city (10-15 min by motorcycle).
Nota bene: you can find what locals consider the best seafood restaurants just before going up that hill.

This temple is all the way up a hill. When you want to enter, you'll need to climb pretty steep stairs. When you are up there, it provides a very beautiful view of the Gulf of Thailand. It's a must visit when in Hua Hin.

This is a smaller temple. It has been set-up as a little souvenir market and has a variety of tourist shops. The temple itself is not so spectacular but the views are very nice. Many of the items I looked at were expensive compared to other temples in the area.

Wonderful location right by the sea and if you climb the steps to the Temple building you get great views of Hua Hin. Beware of the thieving macaques, they're everywhere, particularly along the road down to the shrine on the seafront. But these monkeys seem to have a peaceful coexistence with the stray dogs here which are not aggressive. Some stalls in front of the steps upto the Temple where you can buy a few things.

Pros - nice views, souvenir shops at the base which could be nice for tourists, pretty architecture and sculptures, lots of monkeys - also ponies, pigs, chickens, roosters, dogs, and cats

Cons - the main reason I'm giving 2/5 stars is the amount of trash. I was really shocked to see piles of garbage in between the temples. I expected the area to be better taken care of. Very disappointed and saddened.
