Wat Chaimongkron Royal Monastery
The closest temple to the condo I am staying at, Wat Chaimongkron is famous for being hated by local expats. Those who purchased a unit at Centre Condo overlooking the monastery were not amused when they opened their windows of a morning only to have the monks incinerate a body below. Maybe they should have checked with the real estate agent first. Apparently it isn't done anymore but it is all part of the Buddhist tradition.
