This small temple on a hill isn't particularly impressive architecturally, and although its location suggests an interesting view of the river, this is sadly not the case. Nevertheless, the main building, with its colorful frescoes and golden chedis, makes it a pleasant little place to visit quickly. It also serves as a good starting point for a walk along Sukhaphiban Road to explore the Chanthaboon waterfront and the old town.

Directly opposite is the Wat Klang.

I recommend you stay near the Chanthaburi River; Wat Bot Muang is just a short walk away.

Wat Bot Muang is a temple, and when visiting a temple in Thailand there are some rules to follow: appropriate clothing (knees and shoulders should be covered), take off your shoes when entering the building, be quiet, do not hug or kiss, do not point your feet at the Buddha statue, do not smoke.
