Wat Khao Suwan Pradit (Thai: วัดเขาสุวรรณประดิษฐ์) is a buddhist temple located on a hill about 1 kilometer from the town Don Sak. The temple was founded in 1982 by Luang Pho Choi, a highly revered monk of southern Thailand. On top of the hill is a 45 meter high chedi, which also contains Buddha relics which came from Wat Phra Kiat (Amphoe Hot, Chiang Mai Province); the platform around the chedi also offers a great view over the town and the Gulf of Thailand.
