4 เดือนที่ผ่านมาThis place has great potential. Our guide brought us here to view the temple from the outside and to see the monkeys, which were a unique highlight. We were also greeted by many children (please don’t be dismissive). They are orphans, and any money they ask for typically goes toward school supplies. If you’re in a position to help, consider bringing along some food or educational items. A small gesture can make a meaningful difference.

2 สัปดาห์ที่แล้วI enjoyed the temple and the monkeys but the kids won me over. I took pics of yhe monkey and they loved seeing it up close. I got the drone out and they went crazy. So much fun interacting with them. They walked me around the temple. I had a kid on each side holding my hand. My heart was melted and fill that day. Got them all ice cream after.

6 เดือนที่ผ่านมาThis temple is really a burial ground and there are a few monkeys around. As in all wild animals DON'T GO TOUCHING THEM just throw the nuts to the ground. The children there are orphans and the money they collect goes to help them pay for school and clothes etc. so don't be mean to them.

7 เดือนที่ผ่านมาVery round out. As soon as I arrived, a little kid offered to go buy some nuts for $1 to feed the monkeys, and he promptly accompanied me to see them. I would not advise specifically going there, but if you don’t know what to do and want to see the outskirts of the city, it’s one possible destination.

8 เดือนที่ผ่านมาI honestly loved this temple. We feed some monkeys by hand. Nearby is an orphanage and they come out and are excited to see you. Obviously incentivised by money, however they were really friendly and helped us with feeding the monkeys in a safe manner. In return we gave them a few dollars to buy sweets and they were really happy. They were beautiful kids, but just be aware this will happen but the kids are so happy so it was warming
