Wat Phra Phutthamongkol Maharat (Golden Buddha Temple)

#hatyaiattractions


This temple is pure gold vibes, literally! The gigantic golden Buddha is breathtaking and instantly makes you go “WOW” 😍. It’s super peaceful despite being a popular spot, and the surrounding gardens are perfect for taking a relaxing stroll. I loved how the sunlight hits the Buddha — it glows so beautifully, making it a perfect backdrop for photos. There are also small shrines around where you can light incense and make wishes, which adds to the spiritual charm. I spent a whole morning here just wandering, taking pics, and feeling super inspired by the calm energy. The temple staff were really friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even nicer. If you love temples that are both visually stunning and spiritually uplifting, this one is an absolute must. Don’t forget comfy shoes and sunscreen — you’ll be snapping pics all over the gorgeous grounds!
