Still ahead of schedule so we decided to take another day off as there was much to see right in town. First stop of the morning was the Long Khanh pagoda. It is one of the more elaborate we have seen with a 56ft Buddha statue on its grounds.
If you look close you will notice a swastika on the chest. As it turns out they used the symbol long before the nazis. People here don't seem to be aware or care much as we have seen them repeatedly on architecture throughout the trip.
Next we took a walk to the Thap Doi Cham towers. You can climb inside and look straight up through to the sky. Pretty impressive.
All that plus the beach, another museum and more good food made this a pretty enjoyable stop.
