Every corner should be explored - from the entry to the massive collection of Buddhas and statuary on the first floor - be sure to go all the way upstairs and enjoy the outdoor martial arts statuary. You can see Buddha Mountain from the second floor.

This is one of the most extraordinary place here. The founder was held in such regard by the Chinese Government that he was allowed to have items from the terracotta army in his exhibits on permanent loan. So if you have not seen the real thing you can see a scale model as well as some of the actual figures.... More

We visited this museum on one cloudy evening which accentuated the look of terracotta soldiers and shaolin monks court. I was really taken in surprise with the linings of these impressive statues. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting Pattaya to not miss this place

I have been several times with visitors. Friends and family have always enjoyed it. The main inside area is filled with many statues which are very similar. It is difficult to take in the overwhelming number of exhibits. The side rooms of royal furniture and the upstairs rooms of cultural and religious murals are more impressive. The outside areas,, especially... More

This is an amazing Chinese temple and museum. If you are at all interested in Buddhism, Chinese and Thai culture or Shaolin martial arts, I can recommend this place. The other reviews give more detail, but I'd like to add that I was just stunned by the beauty of it all when I walked in through the gate and there... More
