Situated approximately 15 kilometers south of
Pattaya City, the temple, which covers a total area of 146 acres, can
be reached by turning left from Sukhumvit Road at Km.160 marker. The
temple was built in 1976 to pay respect Somdet Phra Yanasangwon, the
present Supreme Patriarch and was later graciously admitted to be under
the patronage of His Majesty the King. The temple grounds is comprised
of: a mondop (pavilion with four gables) enshrining a replica of the
Buddha's footprints, a large stupa where the relics of the Lord Buddha
and his disciples are enshrined, Phra Yanaret Vihan and an
international pavilion representing the architecture of several
countries.
