Trip.com User: The temple has a very unique architecture, a pagoda made out of stainless steel rings. It is also called Stainless Steel Pagoda / Temple. The ground level of the pagoda has various statues and murals that seems to tell different tales of Buddha (all description are in Thai, and I don't know much about the tales of Buddha either). The upper level has wind chimes installed, the sound it made when the wind blows is so tranquil and serene. I really enjoyed the peacefulness from the wind chimes. You'll need a chartered transport to get there - the pagoda is in the middle of hill / forestry. We chartered a car thru Grab (the Uber of South East Asia) for 4 hours, and visited the "Big Buddha" at Hatyai Municipal Park before coming over here.
