Helpfulness
There are several Buddha statues in the Kawthaung hill temple; some of them are quite big. They are all painted in bright colours, that is much different from the Thai style.

Helpfulness
On top of a hill overlooking the town, there is a large traditional buddhist temple. Its colours are really beautiful and it is definitely worth a visit. No admission fee, no tourists.
