Great Eeyore (Wat Na Yang) and Black Babisha (Puk Tien Beach)
I continue to write about the sights of Hua Hin, although it would be more correct to say Cha Ama, because this city will be closer to the places described. It's just that he is not so well known, and usually everyone still goes to Hua Hin, so let it be so for now..
Last time I talked about the amazing mountain bats, from which these mice fall like living smoke. However, it is a good idea to combine this trip with viewing a few more sights: the Temple of the Great Eared and the beach with Black Babische, so as not to skate for nothing. And on the way back to Hua Hin, you can still see the well-known Black Monk (Wat Huay Mongkol)

Temple boat
Since mice fly out of the mountain only in the evening, you can first go around everything around. Therefore, first of all, we go to the Puk Tien beach and on the road on the left there will be a temple in the form of a boat. Its roof is visible from the road, and you notice that this boat is already close.

Puk Tien Beach and Black Babischa
Pak Tien / Puk Tien / Pyk Tien beach (or something like that in Russian transcription) is located from Cha Am towards Bangkok. He is known for the large statue, usually called the Black Woman. She stands knee-deep in water and pulls her hand to the statue of a young guy, love, however. At low tide, you can come closer to her without getting your feet wet, as well as to the three islets next to her. On the islands there are smaller figures, and the woman herself is 5-6 meters high.
What this means, and why exactly in water, I do not know. There is little information about this in Russian. I only read that these are characters from the works of the famous Thai poet Sunthon Fu, who wrote about the ordinary life of an ordinary person. And a woman is some kind of goddess, or a water demon, who fell in love with a young guy.

Figures are not only in the water
The beach is quiet and calm, relatively suitable for swimming (there are stones). Tourists here are only Thai and mostly on weekends. We were there on weekdays and all the cafes were empty, in connection with which there was a funny incident. We drove a car, and it had tinted windows, that is, you can't see that there are farangs in it. About one cafe, two women barkers simply attacked the car. And you should have seen what their faces were when we got out of the car :) The thing is that they did not understand a word in English, and the menu was all in Thai too. How they did not want to contact us, and lose face from misunderstanding :)

Great Eeyore and Wat Na Yang Temple
The Wat Na Yang temple is called Veliki Ushastik by the common people, because the main reason for going to this temple is the giant figure of an eared monk sitting on a pedestal. Unfortunately, on my arrival, the monk was repaired, and he was all covered with forests, and also covered with a roof (apparently from the rain). Now everything is in order, it was completed, painted, it shines with novelty and pleases its visitors with its appearance.

Looks pretty shabby
By and large, except for the Great Eared, there is nothing more to see there, the temple is the most ordinary Thai. But since he is right very close to mountain of bats, then why not.
If you want to visit this place, you can stay in Hua Hin, for example, budget hotel, where we stayed. Alternatively, search more hotels in Hua Hin by this link.
