Wat Yan nasangwararam Woramahawihan

A huge, beautiful and peaceful temple. It appears to be a teaching centre for monks who live in wood cottages amongst tje trees and monkeys. Thete is one large stupa that holds an exhibition explaining the basic tenets of Buddhism.

This was my 3rd visit to Wat Yan. I took some visitors with me to particularly see the exhibition which I had loved on previous visits. Unfortunately this time not so good. There was no lighting of the exhibition and therefore couldnt read about the exhibits nor see them. I asked if the lights could be turned on but was told no. Disappointing. It's an interesting complex but was starting to look run down and lacking attention.

Nice relaxing place. Good history lesson if you like reading all the signs. A bit hot in the afternoon, maybe best to visit early morning. Gardens are well maintained and beautiful. A very relaxing environment.

Wat Yansangwararam, Chonburi. Set in the Banglamung mountains this towering Temple can be seen for miles. I first saw this temple from the Viharnra Sien or Anek Kusala Sala Temple. It’s the Chinese temple mentioned in this book. I asked my friend Sutin who was driving the taxi and he told me all about it. So the following day, I made sure the first trip was to this incredible temple sat in beautifully landscaped gardens. There is a large lake that sets the canvas for this temple, you can see Pattaya city from the top of the tall temple. As you drive into the temple you enter from a long winding road, on the right hand side is the beautiful lake setting. You are then met by a tall arched gateway leading into the grounds. This lake has several Pavilion halls scattered around it. These interesting Pavilion halls are in various and unique styles, modelled in different nationalities architecture. There are seven built here in the style of Lanna ~Thai, Central Thailand, Singapore ~ Chinese, Chinese ~ Thai , India, Japanese , and Swiss. Each of the halls has an image of dragons playing with water, which represents the kindness of the king of Thailand and are spreading this message to all the Thai people. This area is very beautiful and makes a very relaxing & calming place to visit.

Wat Yansangvararam (Yannasangwararam) is part of nice well kept area with a temple and a Chedi and many other buildings and statues. The temple is built in Khmer Style which is reminiscent of Indian Temples. Wat Yannasangwararam was bulit to honour two great Kings Naresuan the Great (1590–1605) and Taksin the Great. The Temple was inaugurated in 1976. It is the Central Temple for the monks of the Thammayut-nikai order. It is a Royal Temple, that is supported by the King. The Cedi is 40 meters high. It is said, that it contains relics of Buddha. I could not see the exhibition in the Temple, that purports to answer the question "To what did Buddha awaken ?" The temple is about 20 km away from Pattaya. One has to take a taxi to get there.

Wat Yanasangvararam or simply Wat Yan A Buddhist monastery under the royal patronage of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej about 20km south of Pattaya. Visitor can take the tram service to view the hugh buddhist complex.

Learn about Buddha in a very nice way. The place is clean quiet and cold and have a cleaner. There is a lizard sleeping under the temple as well. I always wonder how you can go upstairs anybody been? Take time to read about Buddha and you will understand Buddhism but not Thailand.
