How to get there
The place with the temple is located on the east side of the island, in three minutes from the ring road. For those traveling with Lamai to Hua Thanon turn to the temple is on the right, through the oncoming lane, immediately after MACRO and he is some kind of super-imperceptible, even with a pointer. Yes and the section of the ring road itself is extremely busy here and emergency, so I do not recommend breaking the markup and taking risks. Oh it is better to drive a little further and find a place to turn.
It is much more convenient to turn on the temple when moving from the side Rocks Hin Ta Hin Yai, the main thing is not to hurry and look for blue eyes a sign on a pole with the inscription “Temple”. If you got to MACRO – it means that the necessary turn has already passed.
