Ocean Sanctuary — Chittaphawan Monks College (Unfinished)

Ocean Sanctuary, โบสถ์ในทะเล จิตตภาวัน วิทยาลัย, is the unfinished seaside Buddhist sanctuary associated with Chittaphawan, also spelt Djittabhawan, Monks College. Its exact feature reference is XWX9+2QG in coastal Bang Lamung District. This entry covers the seaside structure, rather than the entire college campus. The reviewed June 2022 photograph looks along the concrete approach towards two roofed pavilions and the unfinished main frame, with the sea on both sides. The site’s incomplete condition is part of its identity; it is not described here as a completed visitor attraction or an abandoned school. A firsthand local account documents Buddhist worship and the scattering-of-ashes practice known as loi angkan at the sanctuary. Ceremonies are private occasions: keep a respectful distance and ask before photographing people or rituals. Enquiries about a particular ceremony should go to its organiser or the site caretakers. Confirm the permitted entrance, current route and visiting arrangements before approaching. Follow barriers and caretaker instructions around the unfinished structure. The map’s round-the-clock label does not establish unrestricted access, maintained walkways or night-time suitability. The exact profile lists 038 221 132 as a contact. Its current availability should be confirmed. A fixed admission charge, official regular visiting schedule and continuous step-free route were not independently established. The same sanctuary is also mapped as ลอยอังคาร จิตตภาวัน, referring to the scattering-of-ashes ceremonies associated with this site. That profile and its linked Pattaya information page list 089 111 5626 for ceremony enquiries. Confirm the organiser and arrangements directly; this contact does not establish general visitor hours or unrestricted access.
