Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Located only 7kms north east of Ubon Ratchathani this temple complex is certainly worth a visit. Plenty of photo opportunities. The pigeons certainly detract from your experience around the 'floating' boat temple but it is what it is. Allow at least a couple of hours.

Having lived in Thailand for quite a while, it is easy to get "over-templed" as they are everywhere. But I do enjoy when I find a unique one and this fit the bill. It is a complex of temples that you enter by driving under a giant three-headed elephant (Erawan) and there are multiple structures. There is a large working temple to make merit, a very ornate bell tower, a large seated buddha temple that was under refurbishment at the time of my visit. There is also a VERY LARGE foundation being poured for a building. No idea what it will be, but if another temple it will be HUGE. There is one temple on a barge that has been there for a while, very ornate and very unique...complete with the statues of all the rowers in place. As soon as I have a chance, I will upload some photos. There is also a lake where a second temple on a barge, larger than the first, is being constructed on the lake. While it appeared to be near completion, it was not yet finished or opened. This was definitely the highlight for me of the Ubon Rachathani area.

The imposing elephant statue at the entrance welcomes you to this impressive Wat situated a short distance from the city. Worthwhile taking your time to study the workmanship of the various structures within the grounds.

Nice place to come and take some pictures but the flying rats (Pigeons) on the boat temple in the lake are too much.
Bird poop everywhere and not a good idea to take off your shoe to go inside the temple.
I belive they are feeding them there.

My children (11 & 13) enjoyed feeding the huge cat fish in the lake surrounding one of the boat temples. If you enjoy seeing the wide variety of differently designed Thai Temples then this one has to be on the list!

A little harder to get to as it is on the outskirts of town, this is a wat with a difference. We have visited over one hundred wats in Thailand, and you tend to get a bit picky after a while. This wat is definitely worth the visit. Apart from the fact that it is so different from anything we had seen before, the craftsmanship of the oarsmen carvings was really unique. If you are in Ubon Ratchathani, this is something that is very special and should not be missed.

There are several Temples to see here. The entrance was pretty cool also with a huge elephant you drive under to get there.

Nice visit, travel under the belly of a guarding elephant and you will see a large boat with lots of crafted work.
Hard further back and there is a concrete boat, get some bread from the vendors to feed the fish. There are some monsters in there,

A lot of temples looking quite similar but this one is really special. The main wat looks as if it is built on a boat. The area itself is very romantic and nice!

Terrific temple!
My first visit was part of a school group led by other teachers. Little did I know what a marvellous site this was as I guided the students onto the bus.
We were awe-struck firstly by the elephants (you'll see what I mean) and then by the suspended boat temple and tower. Selfies and photos galore as we did a few laps.
The other boat temple is a ripper...perched neatly on the water with a bush backdrop to match!
Our group also ventured inside the large hall next to the front boat near the entrance. Stunning paintings and décor surrounding the central golden Buddha statue.
Truly a hidden gem of a place!
