Attraction

Wat Phra Yai (Big Buddha Temple) — the main attraction is a gilded statue of Buddha. For donations of 20–100 baht you can have a monk tie a sacred string around your wrist or release a bird from a cage to 'cleanse' your karma. Half an hour is enough to see the whole area. Opening hours: the temple is open until 19:00, but the complex is accessible 24/7 because there is a viewpoint. Entrance is free.
