The construction has been funded by the Royal Thai Government and the devoted Thai Buddhists followers. The project was initiated to honour the celebration of commemorating the 50th Anniversary of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s accession to the Throne.

Korean Monastery: The Monastery is quite a sight, and after seeing about 10 over the next few days, it’s up there with one of the nicest. It was huge. Oriental and huge. Just standing there in the middle of nowhere, all temple like. I checked in to my 4 bed ‘dorm’ room, although it’s more like a shared quarters. A large room with a separate toilet room and laundry room, all concrete, complete with buckets and taps and hanging space for laundry, quite convenient. The ‘sleeping’ part of the room was huge, and complete with a very thin (surprisingly not all that uncomfortable) sleeping mat and blanket, which I used as extra padding, and of course the more than necessary mosquito net. The room started off with two of us, and ended up with four, nice and cosy! We had fans in the room and enough power outlets for technology which is always handy. Those Koreans sure do know how to cater for the pilgrim!

Chinese Monastery: is a complex of Pagodas, & prayer rooms built by Buddhist Association of CHINA.

Myanmar Monastery: The Myanmar Temple (Lokamani Cula Pagoda) is a gleaming gold and white structure gracefully soaring into the sky in the style of the Shwe-dagon Pagoda in Yangon. There is a monastery complex behind the temple. Nearby, the International Gautami Nuns Temple is a fine replica of the Swayambhu stupa in Kathm-andu. There is a pond here known as Paleswan Pukhu.
