A Thai Temple in Khao Lak
Wat Kom Niya Khet, also known as Wat Khuek Khak, is a serene Buddhist temple in the Khao Lak area about 5km north of Bang Niang Beach. This lesser-visited temple is an oasis of peace, offering a quiet retreat for reflection and relaxation. The temple grounds feature beautifully maintained gardens, ornate statues, and traditional Thai architecture, including intricate carvings and golden Buddhas.
Visitors can participate in or observe local religious practices and ceremonies like making merit and gaining insights into Thai Buddhism and culture. As it is a religious site, visitors are asked to dress and act respectfully – don’t show up wearing skimpy clothes or bikinis.
