Wat A Place

[Kan Win 1,954]

Does anyone have photo's of Wat Khiriwong which is on a mountain over looking NakornSawan ?

I have never been up to it but have seen it from a distance many times.

Hi Ron19,

Then you really should go up there, by car or bike

The way in from the main road

A small road, however it does take you all the way to the top as you will see.

As you go down this road on your left there is:-

Snaking up the hill

and passing, if I remember this small temple

and then to the Car Park area which is on my left. You cannot see it, but wait you will later in this show

So once on top, what to do, go up the path and stairs until you get to the very top

Four Pano View from the top taken in 2005

North View ?

East View?

South View ?

and last the Car Park West view

Then inside the Chedi on top

So if you remember the Car Park photo take a little walk up from there and you will find this place

and

Sawadee Khrup

Win

Here some pics from the temple in Dan Sai.

Probably the most beautiful temple I have seen i Thailand.

You can find Dan Sai west of Loei and west of Phu Ruea on the road to Phitsanaluk.

But it is not on the main road 203, you have to make a little detour.

That is why I add the map as pic no 7.

Great photos and info by all.

I would like to take you all back to Kanchanaburi (Kan for short btw) to the really Tiger Temple up on the mountain, just outside of this town going back to Bangkok. Hang a right at the small traffic light to going out of town to "Tha Muang", then at the Clock Tower roundabout take the right and follow the road along the small klong (canal) until you reach the Mae Klong Dam.

Approximately 14 kms. south of the town, plays a vital role in the development of Mae Klong River Plain covering 3 million rais of Suphanburi, Kanchanaburi, Ratchburi, Nakhon Phathom, Samut Songkram and Samut Sakorn. Scenic Landscape above the dam is wonderful.

Then just go on and follow the signs to Wat Tum Suea (spelling??) but you really Kan not miss it

Once your are there, then the fun starts

Are you going to walk all the way up?

Me, no I just use the back Car Park near the top on the right hand side IF the gates are open?

Just a few steps up and I am there and the view from there is ............................................... You tell me (Pano photos)

From South to North

and North to near South ?

and the rest Kan be found on the link below and many more as well

Every temple has its own charm. I'm going to make it my mission to get to every Wat in the moat in Chiang Mai.
