Wat Phutthiwararam (Wat Krathing Rai)
Another popular temple for pilgrimage in Chonburi, this is the first temple you'll encounter upon entering Pattaya City. Built in 1957, the temple occupies an area of 30 rai. It's so named because the area once boasted a large number of Krathing trees, hence the name "Ban Krathing Lai." Locals also nicknamed the temple "Wat Kating Rai."
