What the temple is
DASTA describes Wat Nong Aor, also called Wat Tai Ei, as a well-known temple in central Pattaya and one of the nine temples visited for worship and merit-making.
Visitors come to make wishes at the Buddha image for their birthday, the day of the week they were born. On a major Buddhist holy day the temple is very crowded, DASTA says.
Visiting
DASTA places the temple in central Pattaya but gives no street address; use the temple's Thai name, Wat Nong Aor, with your driver or map app.
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 visitors in the city who want to see Thai devotion close up. Go on an ordinary day for space; go on a Buddhist holy day for the crowd.
