Wat Khao Chong Lom, Buddhist temple in Khao Khansong, Thailand.
Wat Khao Chong Lom is a temple built into the hillside of Khao Khansong, with multiple levels that work with the natural rock formations. The buildings combine Thai architectural style with the landscape, creating an integrated structure across the grounds.
The temple was founded to serve as a religious center for the Buddhist community in Chonburi province. Since its establishment, it has remained a spiritual destination for devotees.
The temple draws devotees who come to pray and participate in ceremonies that teach traditional Buddhist practices through lived experience. Monks shape the rhythm of daily spiritual life here through their presence and activities.
The temple is reached by a paved road from Chonburi city, with parking available at the base of the complex. The location makes for easy access since vehicles can drive to the start of the grounds.
The temple's location on the hill makes use of natural ventilation from rock fissures that create a cooling effect across the grounds. This natural air circulation adds to visitor comfort and reflects how the site was chosen with the landscape in mind.
