Insider tips
- Mornings are best, since late in the day there may be nobody around. Bring mosquito repellent. Dress modestly and remove shoes before entering halls.
The story
Wat Phang Bua (officially Wat Bunthrikaram) is a working village temple next to a school on Phang Bua Road in north Chaweng. The grounds have several temple buildings and religious figures, but no visitor centre or guide. It is a good look at an everyday local wat.
