What the temple is
DASTA describes Wat Phutthi Wararam as a temple built in 1957 on about 30 rai, with a central sanctuary and monks' houses, on the side of Sukhumvit Road near the Kathinglai intersection.
Its everyday name comes from the village of Kathing, named for the calophyllum trees, ton kathing in Thai, that grew there. DASTA calls it the first temple to be seen when arriving in Pattaya.
Visiting
The temple is beside Sukhumvit Road near the Kathinglai intersection, so it is an easy stop by car on the way in or out of Pattaya.
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
