Anek Kuson Sala (Viharnra Sien), Chonburi Province, Thailand
4.5 (313 reviews) Spent Ranking #2 in Pattaya Speciality Museums
No question - a five star temple!
My favourite part of the experience - a difficult question to answer as there is just so much to see inside or outside. The quality of the statuary is outstanding and its great to see clear information in English on the various exhibits. Two things do stand out: the group bronze outside the main temple (the eight immortals crossing the ocean)and then of course some of the original terra cotta warriors. A few of the copies have been made showing the original colouring as well. Saves a trip to Bejing and you can get really close up as well. And its free of charge, but well worth a small donation. To save confusion the temple is also known as Anek Kusala Sala

A must see for Chinese & Thai history
Not far from Pattaya and well worth a visit. Set out over 3 floors with lots of different exhibits. He's of which are the only terracotta warriors and two chariots on permanent display outside of China. English explanations on many of the displays. Fantastic views of the surrounding countryside including the carved Buddha on the hillside. Can easily spend a couple of hours here.

A must visit
No trip to Pattaya is complete without a visit here. About 20 minutes south of town and just off the main SUKUMVIT Road, this museum is an amazing compilation of Thai and Chinese culture and religion. Almost too much to absorb in one visit.
