Everything on this page comes from Google and the venue itself, which is exactly what every other listing site has. There is no verdict from me because I have not been through the door — and I would rather say so than write something that sounds like I have. It goes on the list.

Wat Chai Mongkron is a thing to do in Pattaya, within the greater Pattaya area of Chon Buri, Thailand. It's rated 4.5★ on Google.

A working Buddhist temple in the middle of South Pattaya, dating back to the area's days as a fishing village. Resident monks give blessings and teach, and the temple hosts major festivals such as Songkran and Loy Krathong. Compact and easy to wander, it offers a peaceful pause from the surrounding district — and in the evening a popular night market operates on the grounds, drawing a largely Thai crowd.
