Named after the sacred mountain Kailaaśa in the Himaalaya, this temple complex offers good panoramic views of the surrounding areas - both the sea and the hills. The architecture is subdued and tasteful, and the hill is dotted by kuTis, monastic dwellings that suggest it having been used as a meditation Wat. Overall a worthy short pilgrimage.

We took a local taxi here. Entry is free. The boardwalk around the mangroves is wonderful. There are a lot of information points, but only a few in English. Half way round you can take a boat trip for a fixed price for the boat. The boat trip took us through the mangroves, we saw birds, lizards, egrets, and butterflies. From the swamps we entered he river and went through the fishing village, through the boats, then back through the mangroves to the jetty. A bit more walking on the boardwalk and back to our taxi. Well worth a visit. Allow about 2 hours.

A nice place to spend the evenings where you can browse the arts and crafts, sit in the open air and listen to live music, you have a great choice of food, the Cicada market though is only open at the weekends and can be very busy if you a going by car.

A nice place to come once you have one/two hours and if you like art. Paintings start generally from 500 bat and can easyly reach 25.000/30.0000. You can negotiate of course. There is a limited number of antiques. We really connected with the artist Wetchayan Unhasuwan very nice and modest person. We bought a few of his nice paintings. Price/quality of his paintings is very good. Also restaurant was nice, facing a little pond. Food was od a good quality and arrived pretty quickly.

6. Wat Tang Sai Temple

Reviewed By pianocello - Shah Alam, Malaysia
Right out of the main tourist centres (and therefore not as heavily touristed) is this attractive temple on a hill facing the sea. There is a spectacular view from the temple and a huge Buddha statue outside . The temple inside is especially noteworthy for its stained glass windows which are not usual in Thailand. Do note that for those of a weak physical disposition, there's a bit of a tough walk uphill followed by numerous steps which can be taxing on a hot day.

This temple is stunning its made of teak wood and carved inside and out. There is wonderful picture carvings on the inside walls and marble Buddha statues on plinths. The temple is guarded by two 9 headed serpents with fabulous attention to detail that wrap around the entire temple.. A few mins walk away there is a stairpath that leads up and into the caves where there are 2 reclining Buddha's. This is an uphill staircase about 20 mins it took us to get into the cave (2 adults/2 children) It's easy to get to from Ao Manoa/Wing 5 airforce and Prachuap Khirikhan town.

travelled by boat from beach at National park entrance round to bay where we found path to cave. Not really a path so much as roughly hacked out steps in the rock. very steep climb for about 1/2 K, definitely not for the faint hearted or unfit. Well rewarded on arrival by fantastic scenery & great photo opportunities. Dont leave anything lying around or the monkeys will have it.

Lovely beach you have to cycle over the military base. Never did that before. Clean and good food as well.
