Wat Thai Buddhist Temple

Description:

• From the Hollywood Freeway the glint off its gold leaf and ceramic tile roof gives away its location. The temple is built in traditional Thai Buddhist architecture. Like a helicopter airlifted one from Bangkok and dropped it in North Hollywood. They hold Thai language and traditional music and dance classes, and year round performances and festivals are open to the public. Every weekend hundreds come to enjoy homemade Thai food with the saffron-robed monks at their open air food court. Many dishes are too authentic for fancy Thai restaurants! When you're trying to escape the glitz of Hollywood, duck into this truly amazing temple for a one of kind Thai experience. - Robert Nomura
