Temple – Mai Khao Beach
The Mai Khao Temple is less known but worth a photo (Wat Mai Khao). The temple itself is tucked away from the road. It doesn’t have any particular architectural interest, but it hides a little treasure: a small bird sanctuary hidden in the park behind it. Surrounded by a protective wall, a small lake with trees growing in the water is the shelter for many white birds, probably cattle egrets. You can drive through the land and around the lake, but it is a nice gesture to stop and make a small donation.
It is one of two temples that Luang Pu Tes built (the other is Wat Lang San, which is in the city). Currently, Phra Ajahn Daeng is the abbot. In the chapel, there are relics of the parents and teachers.
