Hello everyone

In the misty mountains of Surat Thani Province, you'll find Khao Na Nai Luang Dhamma Park, a peaceful spot for meditation atop a tall hill. It's a place where you can escape into nature, with trees all around, and maybe catch a glimpse of some wildlife. The temple itself is pretty impressive, designed to fit right in with the landscape. As you wander around, you can't help but feel a sense of calm and wonder at the stunning views from up high.

As you wind your way up the mountain road, you'll come across a striking sight: a dark brown entrance arch fashioned in the shape of a pagoda. Covered in lush green grasses, it adds a touch of enchantment to the landscape. This picturesque spot has become a favorite among visitors for snapping photos, capturing the beauty of the arch against the backdrop of the mountains.

Adjacent to the arch, a massive stone block emerges from the mountainside, its rugged surface hinting at the passage of time. Atop this natural pedestal gleams a resplendent golden pagoda, its spires reaching toward the heavens. The contrast between the rough-hewn stone and the radiant pagoda creates a captivating sight, drawing the gaze of all who pass by. It stands as a testament to human craftsmanship and reverence for the divine, a beacon of tranquility amidst the rugged beauty of the mountains.

Nestled within the temple's grounds are six pagodas, each perched atop different mountain peaks, awaiting visitors to pay their respects. To reach them, one must embark on a journey of ascent, a pilgrimage of sorts, where each step leads closer to spiritual enlightenment.

Unfortunately, the sweltering heat of the weather proved too formidable, hindering any attempt to scale the mountain's heights. Despite the inability to climb, the view from below still offers a glimpse of the pagodas' splendor, a reminder of their sacred presence amidst the lofty peaks.

At the temple's base, shaded by a canopy of lush trees, sits a serene Buddha image in a meditative pose. Encircled by nature's embrace, it radiates a sense of tranquility and peace, inviting visitors to find solace and inner reflection in its serene presence.
