Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Nestled in the road between Ban Khlong Son and Ban Map Khangkhao on Koh Chang lies Wat Khlong Phrao, a traditional Buddhist temple offering visitors an authentic glimpse into the island's spiritual and cultural heritage. Unlike the island's more touristy attractions, this temple maintains a tranquil, community-oriented atmosphere that reflects the religious practices of the local people and is not geared towards tourist offerings.

Visitors can expect a well-maintained temple complex with traditional Thai Buddhist architecture, including shrines, statues, and ceremonial structures typical of an active wat. The tranquil and contemplative atmosphere offers a welcome contrast to the beaches and bustle of other places on Koh Chang. As the temple is a vibrant place of worship, respectfully observing the monks and local worshippers during their daily rituals is an integral part of the experience.
