They have delicious vegetarian food for sale on every Sunday (9:30am to 1pm) and some special events. Not crowded at all, it's very quiet there but the people we talked to were nice. I tried bánh đúc (kind of a street food rice cake dish in a bowl) and it was great. You can actually pay with Zelle in case you don't carry cash. The whole place is run by only 1 or 2 monks. One of the monks asked me to upload a flyer for an upcoming event to their facebook page for them.

They don't do tours on weekdays but there is a schedule on their website for tour dates and classes. They had a Buddha celebration one weekend and it was so fun!

The location is very humble in a residential neighborhood located off of state road 46 in Sanford. The ground is mostly grass and unpaved with a large field/parking area. Towards the corner of the area is the actual temple with a huge bodhi tree, offering area with incense, and gilded statue likenesses of the Buddha. I've only been here for social events held during Asian new year and different food festivals. The area has minimal shade, but mostly it's very warm so bring sunglasses and sunblock for daytime events. Bring a folding chair if you plan to sit or a beach towel. The events held here are always cash only, so if your find yourself heading here for food or new year festivities, bring cash. If you don't spend all your money on food or beer, you can usually pick up some nice Lao/Thai cooking instruments or food items to go. Also the temple is always happy to accept donations for the local Monks of cash or food offerings. Be warned, there are only two bathrooms located near the temple area and the lines are long during popular festivals. Enjoy coming here for special events and it's a nice reprieve from the hectic Central Florida lifestyle. Things seem to move slower here and it's a nice place for self reflection...and the occasional serving of papaya salad.

There are interspersed gardens of palms and citrus trees with a small structure toward the east end of the property. Festivities are infrequent but seem to bring devout Thai, Lao, Cambodian practitioners from miles around. We were welcomed to cite our prays inside the temple which was beautifully adorned with offerings and Buddha statues. Buddhist temples are a sacred place for prayer and reflection. All are welcome to practice and pray within. Would like to be here when there is a festival. Please post if anyone knows a date of a celebration.

The teachings of this Buddhist monk is the best I have observe anywhere. We were here as a second day of mourning in the passing of my beloved aunt. All the nuns, staffs and Buddhist monk made us all feel at home. We were in prayers and the monk's teachings is something that I have always live by. The prayer was an emotional, and spiritual lesson in philosophy, way of life, in healing and support all under one roof. After the ceremony we were all invited to a vegan lunch. It was an absolute spiritual experience for me and helped in our mourning. The site is huge that includes a beautiful indoor prayer area, a lotus pond and beautiful outdoor Buddha statue , a stage where community functions takes place, an eating area where vegan meals are offered and vegan ready cooked food or vegan frozen egg rolls that one can buy. It is a community of love, support and harmony all in one. It is the teaching of "goodness" as the monk pointed out in each and everyone of us.

Love coming here for authentic Thai eats for cheap at the Thai Temple in Kissimmee…read more They usually hold a farmers market vibe 1x a month? Most of the booths are food related items such as fried bananas, Fried shrimp fritters, Soups (broth) and boat noodles, also steamed rice cakes. I do not know the names of all the food items but they also sell fish cakes, pork cakes, mango sticky rice, boba teas, pork sausage logs, rice plates with chicken meats or pork, and dumplings. I did not see noodle dishes such as pad thai, pad see ew - The Thai Food Truck was the only one serving full Thailand Menu and it looked quite interesting but I skipped the truck. I will def try it next time since they are the only ones selling full menu. There is a booth selling spices, seasonings for the cooks. I saw a lotus cookie that looked interesting - It reminded me of a fortune cookie batter. They had 1-3 booths selling clothing from Thailand, Souvenirs etc. I did buy the only earrings from Thailand. I was tempted to buy the all brass incense holder but I figure I can get that next time. This is a must go monthly if they open on Sundays. Its free entrance and free parking. Some vendors are CASH only and some are Cashless accepted.

Every Sunday at 8:30 in the morning, they serve up a mouth-watering array of yummy vegetarian dishes. The best part is you can either eat there or take it all home with you. I was blown away by how delicious everything looked, and the dishes we got were even more satisfying than we could have imagined. I can't wait to go back and try the other items they've cooked up. Before leaving the temple, I bought home the Vietnamese hot and sour soup and the vegetarian curry, and they were divine! All I had to do was cook steamed rice and vermicelli noodles! Two days of meals for my brother and me. I'm excited to return next Sunday for the Lunar New Year celebration!
