Interestingly, it is still active and monks live in it. The current name of the monastery was acquired at the end of the 16th century, when a large chedi was built. In the northeast, you can see a large statue of the Reclining Buddha wrapped in yellow cloth, facing east towards the rising sun.

Beautiful sites but poor guide. - We visited beautiful sites, but we got little to none explanation from our guide about the sites. It didn't feel like a guided tour but like we hired someone to drive us around.
