2. Wat Nong Yai
It seems that the site area is the largest in Pattaya. Whole facility can not be seen from the entrance, but when you enter in it a white temple, a golden statue, the main hall, a chapel, and the Big Buddha can be appeared. The facilities of the temple are quite substantial. The dogs all begin to howl in time with the sound of the bell at 17:00.

There is a statue in the center of the narrow precinct, and a Buddha statue and bells line up outside the main hall. Looking out around the precincts, it's flashy with gold decoration, but the tourists can't be seen. It is a mysterious temple near the downtown area.
