[2025 Sadao Attraction] Travel Guide for Wat Tham Khao Rup Chang (Updated Mar)

📍Wat Khao Rup Chang, Songkhla Province 🏫 If you mention “Wat Khao Rup Chang”, I believe many people will think of the architecture in the shape of an elephant. But in fact, this temple is a marble pagoda, standing tall at the foot of Khao Kaeo Mountain. Inside “Wat Khao Rup Chang” is located in Village 6, Padang Besar Subdistrict, Sadao District, Songkhla Province. It is a replica of the Mahabodhi Buddha Gaya in India. 👍🏻👍🏻 This is a very beautiful temple. You should definitely come here. It is very quiet. The chapel is much larger than I thought. The interior is cool and decorated beautifully and magnificently. It is different from other temples. Walking inside, there is a very beautiful cave. This temple is very well done because there are lights and tiles all along the way. 😊😊 When we went, there were no people even though it was a holiday. The cave area is a place for meditation. There are Buddha images, Guan Yin, and many valuables. But the path is complicated. It is very fun to walk through. We have to take off our shoes and carry them because there are many exits. 😊👍🏻 I would like to recommend that this place is not suitable for small children or the elderly. There may be slippery paths. Be very careful. 😆😆 As for the bathroom, don't worry. There are very good restrooms here 👍🏻👍🏻 ⏰ Opening/Closing hours: 08.00 - 18.00 (open every day) 🚗 There is quite a lot of parking ⭐️ Rating: 10/10 #Songkhla travel #Songkhla is worth visiting #Hat Yai Songkhla #Beautiful places to take photos #Visit Thai temples #Beautiful temples all over Thailand
