Wat Mekthumvanaram

Wat Mekthumvanaram

According to its Facebook page, Wat Mekthumvanaram is one of the three Thai temples in Hong Kong that the King of Thailand recognizes.  The temple is simply known as the Thai Temple of Tai Wo in Hong Kong.

Behind the temple ground there is a small stream.  There is a structure standing by the stream but in ruins.  It might have been a meditation or study chamber once.

The scenery is beautiful although a stop for pictures there would only take ten minutes or so.

 

The Thai Temple of Tai Wo remains in active observance of Buddhism today.  Therefore if you make it out there, and your sole purpose is to see the ruins, be sure to remain quiet and respectful throughout the temple grounds.  The Facebook page of the temple states that your only purpose in visiting the site should be for Buddha worship.  Although the monks there would not stop you, be appreciative of the fact that it is not a tourist site.
