Sights
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.

Famous quotes containing the word sights:
“Television hangs on the questionable theory that whatever happens anywhere should be sensed everywhere. If everyone is going to be able to see everything, in the long run all sights may lose whatever rarity value they once possessed, and it may well turn out that people, being able to see and hear practically everything, will be specially interested in almost nothing.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
“O Lord, methought what pain it was to drown,
What dreadful noise of waters in my ears!
What sights of ugly death within my eyes!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We may have civilized bodies and yet barbarous souls. We are blind to the real sights of this world; deaf to its voice; and dead to its death. And not till we know, that one grief outweighs ten thousand joys will we become what Christianity is striving to make us.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
