Wat Namtok Thammarot temple is located in the north of Rayong province, in the Wang Chan district. Built in 1983, it takes its name from the nearby waterfall. The main attraction, and an absolute must-see, is the predominantly pink ordination hall, built on stilts over a pond. Its architecture is truly unique. The wooded part of the temple grounds is also worth seeing, with its many statues and other decorative elements. The only drawback: the stray dogs, which greet visitors rather unfriendly. Therefore, I quickly turned back. However, the stray dogs didn't deter me from visiting the ordination hall by the small pond, which remains the main reason to visit this temple.

Free admission. Open from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
