    The temple is very beautiful, and it was a real pleasure to experience the local atmosphere and pray in the morning. The room is spacious and the facility is well-organized. It was nice to spend August 13th there to participate in the candlelight festival in the cemetery.

    I believe it is one of these experiences people should go without much prior knowledge. Overall, I am very happy with my stay at the temple. The communication was challenging but the monks relied on translators and that worked out well. I stayed 2 nights and I would recommend everyone to do the same. 1 night would have been too little, 3 too long, in my opinion.

    The structure is truly magnificent and rich in history. the guided tour was enlightening and very detailed. we really enjoyed the fire ceremony.

    I booked a night in a temple to enjoy a fabulous experience in a mystical place, which was supposed to justify the very high price. I had thought that arriving before 5 p.m. meant that we would participate in temple life with the monks and gain a better understanding and feel for their In the end, the only special feature was attending a half-hour mass the next morning. Although I am not particularly fond of the taste, I have no complaints on this subject. However, I am not particularly fond of the taste, I have no complaints on this subject.

    We really enjoyed our stay in the temple! We got a nice explanation, room was fabulous. Bath was also great. Also food was very delicious, but maybe it was just a stronger taste than we are used to. For us it was excellent experience.

    The food was very good but overall not super recommended for teenagers visiting from western countries. Some flavors were not of their taste even though for a regular adult the experience was amazing.
