Wat Aphai

Visiting the pagodas

Wat Aphai

Situated behind the Mount Phousi, on the banks of the river Nam Khan, in the village where is concentrated most of the bars, this temple has two features that are worth the trip : a recently renovated ‘that’, as well as a representation of Buddha surrounded by a beautiful Bougainvillea.
