Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This magnificent Buddhist Monastery was built and funded by the Thai Government, who have spared no expense. The building is constructed of white marble. Architecturally it is very Thai, but there is an absence of the usual decorations such as colour glass. The exterior of the building is completely white and has some beautifully crafted Naga style support columns for the overhanging roofs.

This temple feel very grand, perhaps the Thai Government and Royal Family is the main sponsor.
Grounds are kept very clean and tidy, very respectful and serene environment.

We took a rickshaw to go around the monastic sites and this was one of the halts. Great site of course!

A large beautiful Thai monastery complex located within the East Monastic zone of Lumbini. One of the few monasteries with live in monks in the area and they offer lunch between 12-1pm Mon-Fri within the complex grounds.

Unlike other temples in Lumbini, Thai Monastery is white in color. Not only the Thai, other nationalities also enjoy visiting this temple. We saw many people from India and Nepal visiting this temple.

I am more familiar with the Thai traditions and this was true to them. Take water. It was the only temple I visited with fans!

Beautiful, white Thai buildings. Works with the local community and doubles up as an eyecare centre. Queues can be large and the place is closed to tourists during treatment times.

The white building is very nice to see, the temple inside is not as big as some other monastery in the vicinity. But the look is very good. It would have been better if some one is there to explain about the temple for visitors.

In stunning white, this is a beautiful monastery like the ones you see in Chiang Mai. Go there to eat some Thai sweets.

Thailand Buddhist followers have established a monastery which has a huge Buddha statue and have enough rooms for Thai worshippers. It is the best monastery in the Lumbini forest park.
