What the temple is

DASTA describes Wat Bang Saray Kongkaram, also called Wat Nai, as a temple founded in 1857, with an ordination hall, a pavilion for making merit and a multi-purpose pavilion.

Its most revered object is a lifelike statue of Luang Phor Thong Yoo, a former abbot known in Bang Saray for his kindness and calm.

Visiting

The temple is in Bang Saray, the fishing village south of Pattaya: see Bang Saray for the village, the beach and getting there.

Dress and behave as at any working temple: covered shoulders and knees, shoes off before you enter a hall, and quiet during prayers. See Thai etiquette.

Who it suits

It suits a slow day in Bang Saray, between the beach and a seafood lunch. It suits you less as a trip on its own from the city.
