Wat Yanasangwararam Woramahavihara

★ 4.7 (3,525 reviews) 🚌 Day Trips 📍 Pattaya ⭐ Rob's Pick

Rob's take

"The most serene half-day out of Pattaya — a vast royal temple complex of shrines, a lake and a hilltop pavilion, far calmer than the in-town wats. Pair it with Viharn Sien next door and the Buddha Mountain a few minutes away for a proper morning south. Dress respectfully and go early before the heat."

Wat Yanasangwararam Woramahavihara is a day-trip destination in Pattaya, within the greater Pattaya area of Chon Buri, Thailand, and one of Rob's picks on this guide. It's rated 4.7★ on Google. Open daily, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM.

Wat Yanasangwararam Woramahavihara is a sprawling temple complex in the hills south of Pattaya, blending Thai, Indian and Chinese architecture across landscaped grounds. Visitors can wander tropical gardens and a tranquil lotus pond, explore a free museum with lifelike wax sculptures of revered monks, and take in views with little of the crowding found at busier temples. Entry is free, and a tram service covers the extensive grounds.
