Terrific temple! My first visit was part of a school group led by other teachers. Little did I know what a marvellous site this was as I guided the students onto the bus. We were awe-struck firstly by the elephants (you'll see what I mean) and then by the suspended boat temple and tower. Selfies and photos galore as we did a few laps. The other boat temple is a ripper...perched neatly on the water with a bush backdrop to match! Our group also ventured inside the large hall next to the front boat near the entrance. Stunning paintings and décor surrounding the central golden Buddha statue. Truly a hidden gem of a place!

This old wooden temple is very interesting and fun to explore. You must take off your shoes, but you can walk inside.
