Wat Mahawan

A decent and beautiful temple to pay a visit to. Not that big a temple but behind it is a huge white pagoda. A few dogs here but they are used to people so a safe place to go with kids. You will find more astonishing temples in the neighbourhood but I think you still should go see this as you pass it along your way to the bigger temples. I had a good 10 minutes there as a typical tourist

The temples here don't look gorgeous enough...but the wind chimes in the temples sound great

Very nice temple close to Ta Phae gate. They offer some massage service too. The temple grounds are very beautiful and peaceful. It's not so big so you can visit it very quickly.

We passed this temple and decided to go in on a whim and we're so glad we did! This is one of those smaller, unassuming temples that has a quiet serenity to it. There were no tourists inside, so we were able to wander around at a leisurely pace and really feel the peacefulness. Note: Visited prior to COVID, so things may be slightly different.

Unusual for the striking purple elephant statues at the entrance to the Assembly Hall. I love the painted murals inside the Hall depicting scenes from Buddha's life and teachings, but I always wish these were at eye level. I think the practicalities of design with shutters along the sides prevent this. There are two Stupas to the left side of the Assembly Hall.

Temple is small but beautiful. I took thai massage ( 150 baht/ 1hour) and tok sen ( 250 baht/ 1 hour) here. Thai massage was awesome. Unfortunately, tok sen wasn't good for me. It's depend on masseurs/ massueses who give you good massage or not.

Stunning temple. It's free. Massage there was good and cheap (150baht per hour) but not very clean - they do not change the towel/bedding after each massage!

Cute temple between the night market and the Tha Pae gate. Nice to visit. Free to enter. There are some tourists here but it's not too busy
