Nuns often meditate in a pond near the temple – this tradition has attracted even more visitors in recent years. Anyone can see the relaxation site for 200 baht per person. Photographing meditating nuns is not prohibited, and after the session, any visitor to the temple can talk to them and learn about the history of meditation.
The situation near the temple resembles China - frequent bamboo thickets, prickly shrubs and an abundance of green plants. Visiting the Golden Dragon Cave Temple is free and possible by appointment.
