Wat Tai

Wat Tai is probably better known for the 'beach' of the small island in the Moon River near the temple than for the actual religious structure. However, the temple itself is worth a look for its unusual grounds and decoration. The original temple dates from 1779, but most of the structures dates from very recent times.

The temple compound is crammed with sculptures, covering all the mythical creatures from Hindu lore, which Buddhism inherited. It really is an amazing mish-mash of fantastical images.
