Wat Khao Hua Sing is a Buddhist temple in a rather remote, rural area of ​​the Plai Phraya district in Krabi province, surrounded by mountains. The land for the temple was donated by the king. This little-known temple is particularly famous for its fully gilded ordination hall, which stands majestically against a backdrop of limestone mountains and palm trees, creating a peaceful and picturesque atmosphere. Founded in 1993, the temple's somewhat isolated location offers tranquility and open spaces. It is pleasant to visit and blends beautifully into its natural surroundings. While the hour-long drive from Ao Nang or Krabi town centre may not be worthwhile, it can be a rewarding little detour on the way to Wat Maha That Wachiramongkol (Wat Bang Tong), and is definitely worth the extra effort – especially if you plan to visit Wat Khao Hua Sing beforehand!
