Why go, and how to do it well
Set along a rural road in the Bang Lamung district outside central Pattaya, this Buddhist temple complex serves as a genuine place of worship and spiritual life for the local community rather than a purely tourist-facing attraction. The grounds are spacious and generally quiet, with traditional Thai religious architecture and a notable pavilion situated on an elevated hilltop. Visitors who make the effort to reach the upper pavilion are rewarded with a more contemplative setting, though the road leading up is narrow and parking is limited, so careful navigation is advised. One of the temple's more distinctive local customs is the practice of feeding fish in the grounds, a merit-making tradition particularly popular with Thai visitors celebrating birthdays.
As one reviewer notes, the complex is large but access to interior structures may be restricted, so visitors should approach it as an opportunity to explore the surrounding area and atmosphere rather than expecting guided interior tours. The grounds are open every day of the week from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, making it easy to incorporate into a broader itinerary. It pairs well with other nearby cultural or natural attractions in the area.

Reviews from Google
The temple is relatively quiet and orderly. If you wish to pay your respects at the pavilion on top of the mountain, you must be careful as the road up and down is limited, as parking is available.
Amazing Buddhist Temple. ❤️🪷☸️
Massive place, nothing too special, cant go inside. Still beautiful nonetheless, the surrounding area has so much to see, so if yoy go to see this as part of that, makes sense, wouldnt be worth going there just to see this. But as part of seeing the whole are.. Worth it.

Tips for Visiting Temples & Culture
Mind Your Feet
Never point your feet at a Buddha image or a monk — it's considered deeply disrespectful. When sitting inside a temple, tuck your feet behind you or to the side.
Ask Before Photographing
Exterior photos are almost always fine, but some interior halls prohibit photography. Look for signs, and never pose irreverently with Buddha images — it's a legal offense in Thailand.
Go Early Morning
Big-name temples are dramatically less crowded in the first hour after opening. You'll also avoid the worst of the midday heat and get softer light for photos.
