If you are looking for peace of mind coupled with the beauty of Thai architecture, "Wat Ao Noi" (Wat Tham Phra Non), Prachuap Khiri Khan Province is a destination not to be missed. This temple stands out on the coast of Ao Noi, with the backdrop of the Ta Mong Lai mountain range that stretches around, giving the feeling of being lost in a land of shade, refreshed by the sea breeze and green trees that surround the temple.
The main highlight that attracts tourists to visit is the entire "Golden Teak Wood Church", which is exquisitely beautiful with elaborate carvings. It is considered a rare and valuable piece of Buddhist art. Moreover, when the church stands majestically amidst the high limestone mountain views, it enhances the scenery of the temple to look sacred and charming, perfect for worshiping and taking pictures to capture the impressive and unique perspectives.
In addition to the beauty of the church, another activity that the Sookjai people should not miss is relaxing in the "Temple's Pond" area, which is very spacious and shady, full of small and large trees that provide shade. You can sit and enjoy the cool breeze or make merit by "feeding the fish" that swim in abundance in the pond. The temple offers fish food at a reasonable price of only 10 baht per bag. It is a simple activity that helps to uplift the mind, getting both merit and happiness back. If you visit Prachuap this holiday, don't forget to pin Wat Ao Noi on your travel list.
