Located in Klong Prao the local Buddhist Temple serves as the center-point for the spiritual needs of the community. Under construction will be the largest Temple on Koh Chang but until it is finished there are several areas for the monks to live in and for visitors to see. There are several full time monks at the Temple with many part-time or short time initiates that take from their daily lives and head into the Temple for a few days to a few months.
The Temple itself is a little oasis in central Klong Prao, worth taking a few minutes to take in on your trip here to Koh Chang. Usually peaceful and serene, the temple also has some of biggest festivals on the island, when it is not serene or peaceful at all, but very busy! The Temple is worth a look when you are in the area just for the beautiful carvings and paintings on the Temple proper.
