My sisters and I traveled from Bangkok a year ago and had a chance to visit this unique remote temple in the hills. We had been together for my mothers ceremony and we were all in a quiet place of thought. I am glad we decided to visit this remote temple. A few words come to mind when I look back on the visit to Wat Phra Sorn Kaew temple in Phetchabun. Words like "unique, beautiful, remote, peaceful" represent feelings or emotions felt as we visited this remote temple 5 hours north of Bangkok.
This beautiful Buddhist temple is set on a 830 meter hillside elevation and is adorned with over 5 million colorful tiles. This has to be a hidden gem in Thailand I said to myself. This off the beaten path trip was just what I needed.
