One of my Favorite Temples in Thailand
Jan 2020
We think this special temple is very beautiful and pleasant to visit. The other buildings in the temple complex are also beautiful. The best time to visit if you want to get a good photo is about 3 pm when the sun strikes the from of the building.

Complex of multiple temples close to each other
Nov 2019
This is not Thai style so you can feel a little bit of Nepal in Thailand. Not the coolest thing I have ever seen, but it's close to Chedi Phutthakhaya. So if you are already close to the place, pay a visit also to this temple complex.

The talent of Thai Architecture
Apr 2013 • Couples
Me and my friend went there in Songkran festival, that day we went there the place was full of both Thai and Mon people. Mon ladies dressed beautifully with their national dress, nice color, nice lace, and nice hair.

Normally after people pffering rice for Buddhist monk at 6 am they go back to cook at their home and bring food to the temple for the monks to eat and for the villagers to eat at Rong-Tan. (charity place that provide food for everyone, also the sweet and snacks!)

We have seen many girls carried food tray on their head, walking or riding motorbike to the temple, such a nice harmony of the villagers that you should come and see by yourself. Also the temple itself is beautiful enough for sight-seeing. And by the time I write this review, another new temple is being construct, so if you go visit there don't forget to upload a photo of the new building!

Beautiful and Peaceful!

Wat Wang Wiwekaram is beautiful and peaceful. The main hall is nice. Girls aren’t allowed in the hall. The buildings in the temple are well maintained.

Beautiful architecture. I am not a Buddhist but I went in. People were praying. I think if you want to see cultural Thailand. This is a place to be.

huge temple grounds - lots of construction in November 2019 (2562)
Nov 2019
To get here you need some form of transport as it is quite some way from town.
In the open large building you can learn a lot about the history of the place and of the most revered abbot.
If still available, buy the beautiful photo book inside the building at 299.- THB

Quiet Wat for some good meditation time
Jun 2018 • Friends
Quiet Wat.
Wat in remembrance of the Monk presiding this Wat. There are videos of the Monk at the Wat and some history. Close to the Mon village. Quite few Wats around.

Interesting when in the area
Feb 2018 • Couples
It'a pleasant enough monastery, you can observe people living everyday life there. We saw little boys-monks, which was interesting. Very quiet place, some beautiful buildings. It is spread between two parts, so on hot day might be a challenge walking.

Enjoyable visit
Aug 2017 • Couples
An interesting place to visit, quite a large site and a reflection of the different cultures and information on local history dedicated to Luangpho Ajahn Tala Uttama the Mon monk who set up the temple and is still highly respected by the local people. He still lies in state on site. Everyone you meet is friendly especially if you are respectful with your clothing.
