Wat Hong Thong, Chachoengsao Province
This temple is located by the sea. The entrance is on the old Sukhumvit road, leading to a path that winds through shrimp and fish ponds. Enjoy the scenic views as you drive to the temple. There is ample parking and clean restrooms.
The first point of interest is a tall building with an unknown number of floors. You need to buy a ticket to take the elevator up to enjoy a 360-degree view, which is definitely worth the ticket price.
Afterward, you can go to the pagoda that extends into the sea to pay respects to the Buddha. You can also go up to the top third floor to enjoy the sea view. If you visit during high tide, you'll get a different but equally beautiful view.
It's recommended to buy a ticket to go up the building for the view.

#thailandtrip Beautiful Buddhist temple. The temples are built on pylons over the water. Beautiful relaxing and a good place for meditation. I definitely recommend this as it's a short trip outside of Bangkok. But be sure to wear a hat and bring sunscreen as the heat Tempe pretty strong but it's tempered by a cool breeze off the water. Only access via private transportation. Crowded on weekends and holidays, there’re some restaurants and shop before you enter the temple’s area. Best to visit during sunset.
