About Wat Yansangwararam
Wat Yansangwararam is a large temple complex in Huai Yai, south of Pattaya, set among gardens and lakes and built under the patronage of King Bhumibol. Many buildings honour the royal family, and its main viharn is a replica of the Mahabodhi Temple in Bodh Gaya, India. Around the lake stand pavilions in Chinese, Indian and Western styles, and a hilltop mondop shelters a Buddha footprint. The spacious, well-kept grounds feel peaceful compared with busy Pattaya. A car or motorbike is the easiest way to move between the scattered sights.
