New Sermon Hall at Wat Plai Laem has been opened

The new Sermon Hall at Wat Plai Laem has been opened and it took almost 3 years to the date for it being built and completed.

There was a big ceremony yesterday at the temple and for a few days there will be a small evening fair at the temple grounds. Especially around sunset a great time to visit.

The Sermon Hall will be used for the day to day temple dealings and will hopefully see and witness lots of activities.

All is set up for the ceremony

Wat Plai Laem is a great destination to visit, it has so many great statues and buildings on her premises and easily my favorite temple on the island, besides being our families home temple as it is. Not that I'm biased!

On your next visit to Koh Samui, check out the temple grounds and some other temples around the island, each temple is fascinating and worthwhile visiting, each in it's own right. Enjoy, there are plenty of temples around Samui island!
