Wat Khao Takiap, Buddhist temple on Chopsticks Hill in Nong Kae, Thailand.

The 270-meter high temple complex features a massive standing Buddha statue overlooking the sea from a steep rock cliff formation.

The temple structure demonstrates the traditional architectural elements of Thai religious buildings through multiple periods of construction and renovation.

Buddhist monks conduct daily ceremonies and blessings with holy water for visitors who bring offerings of incense, candles, and flowers.

Visitors can reach the temple via songthaews from central Hua Hin for 20 baht or take a sealed road that winds up the hill.

Wild macaques inhabit the temple grounds, creating interactions with visitors near the various shrines and observation platforms.
