5.00A wonderful experience at a pagoda just outside of the main city. Our driver and guide was great and explained as he took us through the monk blessing. It was around an hour in total and was definitely a unique experience.
Great experience!

5.00It was a lovely experience from start to finish. Everyone here is prompt and on time and we had an informative guide who explained everything very clearly. They provide the sarongs to wear and show you how so you do not need anything. There is a gorgeous temple right beside the monk’s home too for photos etc. it was definitely a one of a kind experience for all religious and non religious people and I would recommend everyone to experience it with an open mind. AC car, guide and driver - perfect for us. Just a short ride out of town as well and takes no more than 90 min. So leaves plenty of time for a full day of activities - :)
Holy water was cold

5.00As Buddhists, it's very horner to be blessed with a monk. We don't have to dry cloths and or so. Just bring ourselves.

5.00An excellent and very unique experience! Our guide was actually a monk’s assistant at this temple when he was younger which made the experience more meaningful for us. We were honoured to have this ceremony shared with us.
Not to be missed

5.00Our guide was amazing. We were picked up in a private car and the itinerary was explained in perfect English. He took us through each part of the ceremony when we arrived and gave us a bit of history along the way. It was an enlightening and spiritual experience which we both thoroughly enjoyed.
You don’t get to do this at home!
