About this place
Wat Khao Sanam Chai is a Buddhist temple on a hill in Nong Kae. It is associated with Vipassana meditation through the Wiwatta practice centre and Pranee Samroengraj Foundation. Thailand’s official tourism directory describes the site’s purpose as sharing meditation practice based on the Tipitaka.
The hill also provides an outlook towards Hua Hin’s coast. Treat the viewpoint as part of a working religious site: follow the temple’s visitor instructions and make separate enquiries before expecting to join a meditation session. Confirm whether a meditation session is available and how to take part before planning to attend.
The tourism directory lists 69/7 Phet Kasem Road and telephone 032 536 604. Its English visiting note gives 08:00–17:00, while the mapped listing shows a longer day. Confirm the current visitor arrangements with the temple before a special trip. The map point marks the site rather than a surveyed entrance.

Visit the hill and coast viewpoint
