Beautiful Temple Atop a Mountain It is quite a hike to reach this temple but it is well worth it. I went mid morning and virtually had the whole place to myself. It has an ancient feeling to it and appears almost abandoned at first glance, but this temple was the most authentic to me out of the many temples I saw in Thailand. The views from the top of the mountain were beautiful. You can see up and down the coast in all directions and even see other temples on neighboring mountains. There are so many different paths to explore and quiet places to reflect and meditate. There is even a Buddha shrine built into the side of the mountain. A must see!
