WAT THAM MANGKON THONG

Temple to visit
4/5
• 1 review

The temple is housed in a cavern accessible by a long red staircase, flanked by dragon (mangkon) carvings on either side, with 95 steps. The temple has a small museum displaying a variety of ancient objects found in the area. The temple's popularity, however, is due to a Buddhist nun who, from time to time, performs a plank in a deep pool, assuming various poses of contemplation. It's more carnival than meditation, but the Thais love it!
