[2025 Hua Hin Attraction] Travel Guide for Wat Khao Sanam Chai (Updated Jul)

This time I went to worship at 2 temples. One was Wat Khao Sanam Chai, which is very natural and beautiful. I went up the hill to worship the Buddha's relics. The view from the top is very beautiful. When I went, there were almost no people. It was quiet. The other temple was Wat Khao Tao. This time, the monk told my fortune based on my personality and my birthday. It was very accurate. In the evening, I went to Cicada Market, but the prices of food and drinks were quite high. So I went to Hua Hin Night Market next. There were a lot of food and the prices were not high. I ended up walking to eat gelato. It was very delicious. ❤️✨❤️ #Pranburi #VisitHuaHin #SeaNearBangkok #Thailand #HuaHin #BeautifulTemplesAroundThailand #HomemadeIceCream #IceCream #MarketWorthVisiting #NightMarket

Wat Khao Sanam Chai is located on Phetkasem Road, Nong Kae Subdistrict, Hua Hin District, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province. It is a place for meditation, "Vipassana Vivattha Meditation Center, Prani Samrengrat Foundation", initiated by Phra Worawit Worathammo and his group who have faith in Buddhism and meditation. Therefore, they built a meditation center to spread the practice of Vipassana. When you arrive at the temple, there are Naga stairs at the entrance to the pagoda. Along the way, there are trees, flowers, and teachings as reminders at intervals until you reach the top of the mountain. On the top of the mountain, there are Buddha images and a replica of Phra That Phanom pagoda. It is also a viewpoint where you can see everything, from the temple's chapel, Hua Hin town, Khao Takiab, Suan Son Golf Course, and Royal Park Rajapruek. To get there, pass through Hua Hin town towards Vana Nava Water Park. There will be a diversion bridge to cross the railway. Go up and continue straight on the road to Royal Park Rajapruek. When you see Soi Hua Hin 91, start slowing down and continue straight for another 200-300 meters. You will see a police checkpoint and the entrance to the temple, where there will be a plant shop and a kite shop. You can turn right up.

#huahintrip Whatever you do, don't just go to the main Temple building. Walk up the 150 meter small path to the Pagoda for the most magnificent views. You can pretty much get a 360 degree view if you go onto both parts East & West of this huge bare rock on which the Pagoda is placed. But for those who suffer from vertigo, beware. You have precipitous drops from either side of the rock. They placed railings to stop you falling, but they only came up to my upper thigh. There is a nice little Bodhi Tree here and several shrines along the path. Quite a strong breeze at the top straightening the flags and creating soothing sounds with the Wind Chimes. I was here around 9.45am and there was no one else for the full hour I was there. Definitely worth a visit, steep road up and not too much space for parking cars, though plenty for motorcycles.

#VisitHuaHin Wat Khao Sanam Chai, Hua Hin District is a popular tourist destination for Thais. It is not too far away, has delicious food, beautiful sea, and many important tourist attractions. Wat Khao Sanam Chai is a temple that focuses on meditation training. The temple is quiet and accessible by car. There is a walkway to a small pagoda and a chapel on the hilltop. A must-see is to pay homage to the principal Buddha image in the chapel, Phra Phuttha Metta, which the temple has invited the relics of the Lord Buddha from Wat Phra Ram 9 to be enshrined at the head of the principal Buddha image. This temple is considered one of the most important temples in Hua Hin because King Rama IX himself came to cut the boundary stone and tie the boundary cloth. The view is beautiful, overlooking the city in 360 degrees. I never thought there would be a temple like this near the center of Hua Hin. #VisitThailand #Temple #HuaHin
