This is the first time I have ever seen the "heart" of the Reclining Buddha, which is the Buddha for my birthday (Tuesday).

Today, I had business to attend to in Tha Maka and was planning to return to Pattaya by bus from the Sri Mongkol Tour bus station. The bus was scheduled to depart at 1:30 PM. I arrived at the bus stop an hour before the departure time. While waiting, I checked Google Maps to see if there were any restaurants or places to visit nearby. The ticket seller also recommended a noodle shop by the Mae Klong River that sells bowls for only 10 baht each. At first, I thought the uncle had made a mistake, as I had two bowls and he told me it was 20 baht in total. Wow, that's incredibly cheap! It's hard to find prices like that these days.

After finishing my meal, I looked for a place to continue my walk on Google. I saw the name of a temple nearby that was within walking distance, but I was too full, so I called a motorcycle taxi. It cost 30 baht. After a short walk, I arrived at the temple. Upon arriving at the temple, I saw a beautiful two-story church. The temple was quiet, and there was a statue of Rahu for worship, followed by a 49-meter-long reclining Buddha. The day I went was a weekday, and the temple seemed a bit quiet. However, I liked the atmosphere, which was suitable for visiting the temple. I walked to the back of the reclining Buddha and saw a door leading inside the Buddha. I saw beautiful paintings and, most importantly, the heart of the reclining Buddha. It was the first time I had ever seen the heart of a reclining Buddha.

The surrounding area of the temple also includes statues of Guan Yin and Ganesha. However, I did not explore the entire area as I needed to return to the bus stop. I still regret spending 30 baht on a motorcycle taxi, haha.
