Wat Khun Samutrawat

Wat Khun Samutrawat, a temple in the middle of the sea, is truly surrounded by the ocean. Originally, the temple was located on land, but as the sea level rose, it eroded the coastline, and the temple was affected as well. Nowadays, there is a road leading close to the temple. The atmosphere inside the temple is peaceful and serene, with a cool breeze blowing. There are two ordination halls: the old one houses a principal Buddha image in the Mara Vichaya posture, while the new one is made entirely of golden teak wood and enshrines a replica of Phra Buddha Chinnarat. The temple is quiet and adjacent to the sea, with a cool breeze. I appreciate the fact that you have to walk in (there is a shuttle service), as private cars must be parked outside. This prevents noise from vehicles from disturbing the temple, making it more peaceful and less chaotic. Both the new and old ordination halls are beautiful and worth exploring.
