If you are looking for a place to rest your mind from the hustle and bustle, "Wat Khao Chin Lae" or Wat Weluwan, located in Mueang Lopburi District, is the perfect destination to fulfill your happiness. This temple is a small temple located in the embrace of the great Khao Chin Lae mountain range, making it shady and peaceful throughout the year. When you step into the temple area, you will feel the scent of nature and the coolness from the shade of trees that cover the entire area. It is suitable for taking a walk and letting your mind wander with the sound of the wind and nature on holidays.
The main highlight that makes Wat Khao Chin Lae unique is the large "flock of peacocks" that live naturally within the temple. The peacocks here are quite familiar with people. We can see them walking gracefully, showing off their colorful tails, back and forth along the temple grounds or on the roofs of the pavilions. Sitting and watching the peacocks walking around is an activity that helps to relieve fatigue very well. In addition, inside the temple, there is a large Buddha image prominently enshrined on the hillside, which we can walk up to worship for good fortune and admire the view of the sunflower fields from a high angle as well.
Visiting Wat Khao Chin Lae is recommended in the morning or late afternoon because the weather will not be too hot and it is the time when peacocks often come out to forage for food for us to see often. After being full of merit and enjoying the cuteness of the little animals, you can also drive to take pictures with the famous sunflower fields located in front of the entrance to the temple immediately. It is a simple holiday trip that fills your heart with great energy. Anyone who wants to experience the slow life style of sookjai must not miss pinning this place.
