Wat Pa Pradu

One of my favourite Buddhist temples is Wat Pa Pradu in Rayong, Thailand. The temple is known for a few things – the reclining Budhha covered in gold leaf, the tamarind tree which has special significance to the temple site, and the remains of the ancient temple displayed underneath one of the buildings, which people crouch down to see as they pass through three times. A beautiful and peaceful site and well worth visiting.

The Sanctuary of Truth

This hidden gen is tucked away by the beach of northern Pattaya, Thailand. The Building is a massive structure built entirely of wood, (I think it is the largest wooden structure in the world at the moment). Made up of four wings, the carvings reflect the branches of Buddhism tradition found in Thailand, India, Nepal and China. A truly amazing place. (And they are still building it).
