Small temple combined with a viewpoint over looking the town and sea. The entrance is down a very small road off sukhumvit road, when you are in the area you will see a Burger King at a gas station, this is where you need to turn off. Up the hill there are plenty of monkeys so if walking keep your valuables safe!! Parking for quite a few cars is available, nothing undercover so your cars interior may get a little warm during your visit. Inside you have the pray areas, buddha shrine which stands over 40ft tall, a phayana dragon guarded entrance to the view point and the crystal ball that gives an inverted view of the scenery. We went yesterday and there are some maintenance going on the steps to the viewpoint, view point still accessible tho. Overall the whole of the complex is very clean and well maintained. Not a major attraction so quite quiet and very beautiful! If your in the area have a look!!

Wat Yansangwararam (Locally known as Wat Yan) is a one of the most impressive temples in Pattaya. The temple is located approximately 20 km south of the Pattaya. The temple was built in 1976. Wat Yansangwararam is surrounded by clean gardens, massive lakes & several different architectural styles of buildings, that make the complex a nice & peaceful place. The contemporary design is the most remarkable characteristic of Wat Yan. Many unique architectural influences from India, China, Japan & Lanna can be seen here. Inside the main complex you can find a replica footprint of the Buddha & a large stupa that contains a many relics from the Buddha. The complex is usually quiet, so It's an interesting place for practicing meditation. Public transport is not available for going to Wat Yan, so you have to go there by a group tour or with a private taxi or a rental car. It's a good idea to rent a car and go to the Wat Yan by rental car, So you can discover many attractions of this part of the city such as Nong Noch tropical garden, Silverlake vineyard, Swiss sheep farm, Ramayana Water Park and Buddha mountain. It's located only about 10 minutes away from Buddha Mountain. Standing in a certain spot in the Wat Yan, you can see the Buddha Mountain in the distance. It's really worth a visit for discovering the quieter side of Pattaya. The complex operates (8-17).

This newly erected Chinese style temple is very impressing. The variety of colours and the quality of the murals are impressing. From the 4th floor of the temple you have an amazing view of the sea.
