This small temple, sometimes called Wat Na Muang, has as its only attraction a 10-meter-high Burmese-style chedi. Behind the stupa is the main hall for ordinations, Phra Ubosot, which is unfortunately often closed. There stands an intricately decorated Buddha statue and a bell tower adorned with cat motifs. To the right of the chedi is a tree surrounded by Buddha statues. A visit is only worthwhile for those with a genuine interest in temples.

Free admission. Open from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm. Bus line 3 (red) goes to Wat Suwan Khiri.

It's up to you whether you do it like me and walk there, take a tuk-tuk, or even try to rent a bicycle from a guesthouse.

Wat Suwan Khiri 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.

How to get there

How do you get to Wat Suwan Khiri? That's entirely up to you. Whether you do what I did and walk, take a tuk-tuk, or even rent a bicycle from a guesthouse, it's completely your choice.
