Wat Samet

Built in 1877, Wat Samet lies between the villages of Ang Sila and Bang Saen south of Chonburi. The mural paintings inside the temple depict the ten methods of bodily and emotional detachment. It also shows lifestyles of the fishing villages. Like in many temples we visited in the area, it seemed empty and no monks were visible, which was probably due to the rains retreat of the monks during the rainy season.
