Very impressive temple. Definitely must see if you are in the area.
BE AWARE of tuk tuk and other scammers in this area of town. Know what you should be paying for things and don't be afraid to walk away if you think they are ripping you off (they probably are).

You must have a massage at the massage school within the grounds. Clean, well priced & very relaxing.
