They both are at a temple near my house, called Sea Shell Pagoda Temple or Wat Chedihoi in Thai. I had never been there for over a year but I felt like feeding fishes and asked people at my house id they would like to go. My mom asked "why not we go to the Sea Shell Temple to feed turtles?. And then I said "Yeah, lets go there".

Sea Shell is a temple in Pathumthani province, not far from Rang Sit. Once I got there what I thought was that "Wow, this place change a lot!". It looked cleaner with more space.

We walked to the Turtle pool. There were cucumber dishes that we would buy to feed the turtles for 10 baht each. You will be given a long stick as a tool to help you feed the turtles. Have you ever heard that if you got bitten buy a turtle, it will not let you go till it hear a thunder? I have heard that and I was appreciated that they provided us many long sticks.

After I was done with feeding the turtles I bought a few bags of bread to feed huge fishes in another different pool. After we walked to a museum in the temple. It is said that million years ago the land there was an ocean. Many of big sea shell fossils were found on that land and they made them pagodas. I took a picture of the shells with my hand to compare the sizes.
