Now have also a small apartment ready for rent for tourist, ask in the temple if available

Visitors to this small and peaceful Buddhist temple have likened it to a mosque or a church. As such it is popular with visitors of all religions who seek a moment to rest and catch their breath after a busy morning’s sightseeing. The temple’s tranquil ambience and brightly colored murals on walls and ceilings, and spectacular statuary, including a reclining Buddha, give this temple a five-star rating on TripAdvisor. Says one: “This was a bit of a surprise – not much to look at other than a nice old building outside, inside the temple has a stupa and beautiful brightly coloured murals. Worth a visit.”
