After checking the time and realizing we had some time to spare, we decided to visit the "Phu Man Fa" Buddhist temple of the famous local monk, Phra Ajarn Daeng, located in the Chamnim district. Although it was not far from Nang Rong, it would take about 15 minutes to drive there, another 15 minutes to return, and another 15 minutes to explore the temple.

As mentioned earlier, our time at the Buddhist monastery "Phu Man Fah" was limited, which was a pity. However, Buriram is a city worth visiting, offering a wealth of art, culture, historical sites, and delicious food. It is almost impossible not to return for another visit. And when we do, the Buddhist monastery "Phu Man Fah" will likely have made significant progress, making it easier for us to say goodbye.
