Wat Thipya Waree Vihara (Green Dragon Temple)

Known locally as the Green Dragon Temple, this Chinese-Buddhist sanctuary is a peaceful alternative for kae chong. You’ll find clear signage for Tai Sui offerings, red talismans, and paper sets, plus volunteers who can show you the correct order if it’s your first time. The signature green dragon iconography symbolizes protection, prosperity, and the strength to push through a difficult zodiac year, making this a fitting stop if you need a quiet reset.

Expect a slower, more contemplative pace than the city’s big-name temples. Keep shoulders and knees covered, speak softly, and move along with the flow once you’ve finished your prayers. If you’re visiting today, you can be in and out smoothly, with plenty of space to reflect before heading back to work or errands.
