Excellent temple 🛕 to revisit with friends and family. However the senior people should able to walk along the way there as per staircase many step. Also not family for wheelchair person.

The magnificent of landscape and atmosphere around were amazing memories. No cost to visit as per we were rental the car to be up there. Better to be there around 5PM onwards to join growth ✨ in the drak.

Glow in the dark temple, absolutely worth a trip if you are in the area.

The temple grounds and building itself are nothing special, but as soon as the sun starts setting it becomes magical. The tree of live on the east facing wall has luminescent paint that emits a turquoise glow as the sunlight starts to fade. There are also many decorative patterns on the ground surrounding the temple that are covered in blue and turquoise luminescent paint. The whole place just ‘shines’ at night.
Just to manage expectations, this is not LED lighting that is smack in your face, but rather subtle luminescent paint that emits a gentle glow and will gradually fade over time. If you are a photographer, bring a tripod (I forgot mine) to capture the glow in long exposure mode.
Definitely plan to stay until it’s completely dark to see the full magic. We were actually surprised how many Thai tour groups left shortly after the sun hid behind the horizon, while the skies were still illuminated - they missed the nicest part! Talking of tour groups, we visited on a Sunday night and it was quite busy, especially with people lining up to take pictures in front of the tree of life. Visiting on a weekday may be more tranquil. But as mentioned most tour groups left before it was completely dark.
Plan to arrive by 6pm and stay until at least 7:30pm

❤ Unseen Thailand! This temple is very impressed, especially in the evening after 5 pm, you will see glowing lights around the temple, it’s very beautiful. Driving to the temple is a little far, 1 hour 30 minutes from the city. Do not miss this place, Let’s go!

Amazing temple on top of a hill. You will have the view over the jungle and the Laotian border.
Peaceful temple during the week and worth to visit daytime.

My friend told me to visit the temple at night. So I chose to be there at 19.00 pm. Yes, the temple was so beautiful at night. It is glowing in the dark.

You need to visit here at night to see the glowing stone. It’s very beautiful designs. It will be glowing in the darkness.

One of the most beautiful temples I have been to. All the details are amazing and the light in the evening creates some magical atmosphere. I think they knew why they want to have a temple on top of the mountain. Didn't see it at night when the lights do some other magic. But the tree on the wall in the back and all the Naga, also the angels - it's special there!!

Beatiful location for reflection, enjoying sunsets and afterward the whole temple and courtyard glows in the dark. There are plenty of places to park and to sit inside and outside the temple. Remember to wear appropriate clothing when visiting.

My hosts bought me here as they know I am interested in temples. I was wandering why they were leaving it so late prior to going I realised the reason when I arrived The temple is simply remarkable and well worth a visit, but take my advice " wait till nightfall" ,😂👍

It is a magnificent Buddhist temple located at the vicinity of the Thai-Laos border. It is situated on a spacious and flat valley. It is furthermore a viewpoint to see Laos territory. The uniqueness of this temple is it is built with fluorescent paints including the surface of the temple, footpaths and other decorations around the temple which gives the visitors a mesmerizing view of glowing lights. I visited towards the evening and there were only a few peoples but toward the late evening, there were huge crowds because the fluorescent paints produce radiant glow at night. The vital point of worship is a medium size Buddha statue inside the temple. I would recommend visiting in the evening to get the colorful scene and visiting during full moon seems to be best where moonlight will cause impressive glowing effect.
Entry fee: free.
Time of visit: August 2018

This is the most famous Attraction in Ubonratchathani. Temple is on the hill. you can see the view of Chongmek,Sirindhorn district and arts that glow in the dark. It's crowd if you visit around 5-7 PM. then 7-9 is not so crowd.

Without doubt one of the finest ‘simple’ but elegant temples I’ve viewed. The reason I say simple is not to put it down, but to say the structure is true to its intended design of letting the temple be part of nature and nature be part of the temple. Amazing views around and plenty of viewpoints. Lots of eating and sitting areas and lots of parking areas and good toilets. Monks and worshipers active.

Nice glow in the dark temple. Time to come should be before the sunset so you can see both atmosphere. It could be chilly during the sunset. And it can be crowded too.

I personally not much into the temple and such but this temple got me in awe. If I have more time I’d stay here a little longer to see the glowing in the dark. Most of the people suggested the best time to see the light is before sunset around 5:30pm onwards.

Quite the experience. We arrived about an hour before sunset and were greated by two temple pigs. A beautiful temple and sunset views. Many people arrive around this time and wait for darkness to fall. Once it gets dark the fluorescent paint on and around the temple illuminates. Tripod recommended if you hope to get decent night photos. Parking and nice restrooms on site.

I rode my bicycle here for sunset. I arrived about 17:00 to walk around and take photos. The photos in my review were taken at 19:40 with a tripod as a reference. Definately show up befor sunset to enjoy the view. This is one of my favourite temples in Thailand now. I think you will enjoy it too 💟💯🇹🇭

Very amazing for the fluorescent painting at the back of temple of the Unseen Thailand. Do not miss to visit one late afternoon and to wait till dark for the unforgettable experience.
