Wat Tridhammaram

Surat Thani


Enter via the narrow alley on Na Mueng street, topped by a beautiful sitting Buddha gate, heading straight for the doors of the white temple. Once there, turn around to greet the two giant, seated Buddhas the temple is famous for. Both are beneath huge trees – one seemingly emerging from the green foliage – in recreations of Buddhas reported enlightenment beneath the bodhi tree.
