Buddha Dhatu Jadi (Golden Temple)
What you can see and do
This Theravada Buddhist temple stands on top of a hill at Balaghata, near Bandarban town. It is gold in colour, and local people call it the Golden Temple. The jadi follows the architecture of Myanmar, and its terrace looks out over the surrounding hills and the town. Take off your shoes before going in. Your clothes should be modest too.
How to get there
An auto-rickshaw or jeep from Bandarban town covers the roughly 4 km to Balaghata; at the end there are some steps to climb.
Safety notes
Dress modestly at a place of worship, keep quiet during prayers and ask before taking photographs.
