Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Markus Lenk, Düsseldorf, Germany

Those considering Khlong Sam as a place to stay can plan their trip around various cultural highlights: Wat Phra Dhammakaya in Khlong Sam Subdistrict, local traditions with approximate months, or OTOP themes from the Ban Khlong Sam community. These aspects have different focuses: temple architecture and meditation are religious highlights, while the traditions mainly provide guidance when choosing a possible travel month. When looking for a holiday rental, it therefore makes sense to first consider which of these themes you would like to shape your stay.

Wat Phra Dhammakaya: Architecture and Meditation

Wat Phra Dhammakaya in Khlong Sam Subdistrict is known for its distinctive ordination hall and meditation practice; the temple also features a large chedi sculpture. Architecture, meditation and sculpture thus offer different ways to explore a religious site: the ordination hall is an architectural highlight, while meditation is another focus. If you are planning a visit, check the current visiting options beforehand.

Traditions with Approximate Months

Traditions in Khlong Sam Subdistrict include Loy Krathong, around November; the New Year merit-making festival with alms-giving, around January; Songkran, around April; Tak Bat Phra Roi, around October; and a candle procession for Buddhist Lent, around July. At the New Year merit-making festival, giving rice and non-perishable food is part of the alms-giving. The months therefore span January, April, July, October and November. These months provide a broad seasonal framework, but not specific event dates. If you are planning to travel specifically for a particular festival, check the dates in advance.

Moo 1: Objects and OTOP Products

Antique items, household objects and the OTOP products of the Four-Region Doll Group are listed as attractions in Moo 1 of Khlong Sam Subdistrict. Alongside temple architecture and religious practice, this offers another cultural focus: everyday objects and the products made by the doll group.

One Day Trip Green Route

A one-day green tourism route called One Day Trip Green Route was developed for the Ban Khlong Sam OTOP community. Its design took into account the community’s ecological agriculture, a Lamphu tree, an Azolla pond and a lotus pond. The one-day format describes the scope of the concept and differs from the approximate months given for the traditions: here, the time reference is a route format, while the months provide a broad seasonal framework. If you would like to include the route in your travel plans, check the current visiting options beforehand.

When choosing a holiday rental, you can first prioritize your main interest: temples and meditation, a seasonal event, or OTOP themes.
