Since we hired a driver for the whole day and we only spent a few hours at the elephant park we decided to see a few more near by sites. Ben found this place online somehow and I had no idea what to expect. He just told me it was a dragon temple. OK. Our driver had never heard of it so Ben had to assist him with directions. Luckily it wasn't too far from where we already were.
It's hard to tell from the picture but this building looks awesome from a distance. You can see the dragon head on the top of the building.
This is a functioning Wat so when we got there we had to show our respect and make sure not to do anything we weren't supposed to. Mostly I just walked around the outside and took a lot of pictures while everyone else sat on benches to take it all in.
There was a beautiful fountain-like area as you first walk up to the building. We were instructed to throw change in and make a wish, trying to get it into the center area.
More pics from around the temple...
Benny ran the bell for blessings for his parents.

| I'm not sure if these are the handprints of those who helped build this or of those come to worship but this surrounds the temple along with footprints. |

| I LOVE THIS! So Awesome! |

I'm so glad Ben found this place. Don't ask me how to get there though.:)
