One of the most striking in the park. We enjoyed our visit. The Northern area ticket is 120 bat. We love how the figure inside reveals itself from afar and then again as you round the corner to enter. There are a few small vendors at this location including a refreshing iced coffee and smoothie stand to beat the heat.

Great authentic temple, must-visit when coming to sukothai. Local guide was very friendly and took some pictures of us touching Buddha's hand, as local habits/belief recommend to do (you can make a wish when doing so)

Ever wanted to be silently judged by a 700-year-old Buddha the size of an apartment block? Welcome to Wat Si Chum, where a giant stone Buddha peers through a narrow slit in the temple wall like it knows every bad life choice you’ve ever made. This 15-meter-tall Buddha has been staring unblinking since the late 13th century, which explains why the place feels less like a tourist attraction and more like divine surveillance. The narrow chamber forces you to tilt your head back, as if the Buddha is saying, “Yes, bow lower, sinner.” Historically, it was part of the Sukhothai Kingdom’s grand plan to wow the faithful, and even centuries later it still works, you walk in feeling like a traveler, walk out feeling like you’ve been spiritually roasted. The surrounding ruins are tranquil enough, but it’s the giant hand resting gracefully on its knee that steals the show. People line up to touch it, probably hoping some of that eternal patience rubs off before they snap another 500 selfies. Wat Si Chum isn’t just a temple, it’s a reminder that some beings don’t need Wi-Fi to keep tabs on you.

Considered the principle temple of the northern zone of Sukhothai Historical Park, Wat Si Chum dates back to the late 13th century and is steeped in both history and legend. The temple’s name means “Temple of the Bodhi Tree." The 11.3-meter-wide sitting, stucco Buddha, known as Phra Achana, embodies the Sukhothai ideal of spiritual fearlessness through the calm expression. The temple is also famous for its hidden passageways inside the walls, where ancient slate slabs once illustrated Jataka tales (stories of the Buddha’s past lives). According to legend, these passages allowed voices to echo from within, giving rise to the nickname “Speaking Buddha.”

I love this place. This might be my favorite ancient ruin in Thailand. So beautiful and if has a special feeling there too.

The Buddha Statue is amazing, but ticket THB 120 for 1 time visit is a little too expensive, because there was actually nothing else to see. Better to rent a bicycle for riding around (only THB 30 ~ 50/day).

Beautiful temple and a must visit place in Sukothai. Try to visit in the morning before 11 AM for the best light and great pictures. Paid 120 baht foreigner fee for the entry.

Excellent site well maintained. You can hire a bicycle or have a trolly car for large number. Nice food stalls very authentic Thai food. Vibrant space with boards in English and Thai Chinese explaining the history. Some function was being prepared and lot of temporary wood stalls, decoration was being put up. Nearby Market also has a Wat excellent landscaping with water pond and place for feeding fish.

Oh my word! After the hideous colour-themed, spray-painted modern monstrosities of the temples in Chiang Rai, this place is an absolute dream. So many ruins of temples, pagodas, statues of Buddha, and other religious iconography all within a beautiful natural setting. A place of serenity, peace and calm. We hired bikes for 30 baht to visit the main site and used them for the rest of the day to cycle the bicycle trail marked on the roads leading to other temple ruins in the rural outskirts. You can use your ticket to go in and out as many times as you want. We went back for sunset. Can't understand why some people moan about 'foreigners ' having to pay more than nationals. It's less than £5 to visit an incredible place where you will easily spend more than a couple of hours. Less than a fancy coffee or a pint in London!! We only paid to get into the central zone - it's got everything you'd want to see within it.

Great place to explore. Many ancient temple ruins which can keep you occupied for hours if you want to stroll around the park, or hire a bike as many do. Or you can hire a golf cart type buggy, ask at the entrance, for 2-4 people that will drive you around the park with guided commentary or there are larger 12-14 seat buses that take you round the park. So something for everyone. We spent 4 hours there on foot and see everything in the central area. Just as we were leaving the lights were coming on so the park was looking very atmospheric. Other than the central area If you hire a bike you can see the rest of the area and follow the bicycle route, plenty more ruins to find, the shops and restaurants around its perimeter, and the streets come alive in the evening with food stalls. So you can end your day with authentic Thai food and sit on the grass next to the river and relax. Great time had 👍👍🇹🇭🇹🇭

An UNESCO heritage site about 60 kms from Phitsanulok. Very well maintained and covers a vast area. You can rent a push bike for Thb 30 and also choose from the electric vehicles if you are a bigger group. The grounds are superbly maintained. Entry per person is thb 200 per person. Washroom facilities available.

This is such an interesting place. I hate to be critical but I wish they told the story of the people though… I did not get the sense of what the city had been, who lived there, what their lives were like day to day. The museum has lovely artifacts, however it also does not tell the story. Maybe every Thai knows the story but coming from a distant land without knowledge of Thailand the story still escapes me. Perhaps an audio guide would be helpful or even signage at each point. I envision something along the lines of ( Sukhothai has been inhabited since —-, this structure was originally built in —- out of—- notice —- in approximately —— the structure was transformed into a — notice ——. In the years of —- the city was abandoned because of —— it wasn’t until the year of —- that the city was rediscovered —— today ——) what I really want to understand is how people were ruled, lived, worked and worshiped across time. The place is magnificent but I missed the story of the people who have lived there and that’s why I go. You definitely get an “Indiana Jones“ feel in parts.

We did the full circuit by bicycle so we could see everything, and it was absolutely worth it. Besides being fun, it really helps you make the most of your time and visit every corner of the site. The ruins are well preserved, and if you arrive early in the morning, you’ll not find many people around.

We enjoyed our visit over two days. We started with a day in the central area and then another day in the Northern and Western areas. Bicycles work great to travel between the Wat, there are so many to see. The central entry was 200 bat and 10 bat for a bike, very reasonable. The Northern entry was 120 bat and there was no ticket required for the western area.

I explored a stunning 14th-century monastery in Sukhothai, surrounded by ancient trees. The aged buildings whispered stories of the past. Intricate carvings and a majestic chedi stood as testaments to skilled craftsmanship. A peaceful atmosphere enveloped the entire place, perfect for reflection. The air was fragrant with the scent of flowers. Giant banyan trees provided shade and a sense of timeless serenity. It's a must-see for anyone visiting Sukhothai.

Excellently organised. CLEAN and markers in English. Bicycle available for 30 thaibaht. Local Food available in the Park. Clean and many toilets inside. Not very large area so is manageable on Bicycle. Very friendly people. There is a Museum that I missed because of lack of time. Outside the parks there is a Buddhist Monastery. Worth a visit.

Wat Mahathat is the largest and most important temple in Sukhothai Historical Park, once the spiritual and political heart of the Sukhothai Kingdom. Built in the 13th century under King Sri Indraditya, its name means “Temple of the Great Relic.” Located at the very center of the old walled city, right beside the royal palace, Wat Mahathat was designed according to the mandala concept, symbolizing the universe. At its core stands the iconic lotus-bud chedi, a hallmark of Sukhothai architecture, surrounded by more than 200 smaller stupas, viharns, and Buddha images in a mix of Sukhothai, Lanna, and Sri Lankan styles. The temple’s grand scale reflected its role as the religious center of the kingdom, where relics of the Buddha were enshrined and major ceremonies were held.

The central complex at Sukhothai Historical Park, Wat Matathat is a treasure trove of seated and walking Buddhas from Sukhothai. The whole area is a mass of lotus bud chedis, stupas and mondops, sometimes including stucco decoration. The complex is marvellously photogenic whichever way you look. A must-see for fans of Thai architecture and art.

Thailand is all about Wats, showing how religion has been fundamental in the country’s history. After visiting many of the ancestral buildings, for the size, number of Buddhas and the clean part of the city, this is the one I would recommend to visit. Early morning or late afternoon are the best time, usually is not crowded and there’s plenty of space to enjoy. Particularly I did in a rental bike, that’s great since you can move around easily and includes AC, which you appreciate after each stop. This is a must, despite several others, this is part of an antique city.

Of the central section, the main temple where everyone goes. For sure, it impresses and cannot be missed. Go there early morning, the park opens at 06.30 ! a chance to enjoy cool atmosphere, soft lighting and have the whole temple for yourself.

Wat Mahathat is the most beautiful place in the whole park IMO (along with Si Phum). Spacious area with the main building surrounded with stupas and buddha statues. It's good to see it early in the morning or after 1.00 pm (when the crowd is less intense). Must be incredible during sunsets and sunrises, but didnt make it 🙄

Among several Buddhist temples in a vast and amazing Sukhothai historic park, this one is a Hindu Temple. It was built in early 13 cent, included in the entry ticket

It's ruins. It's a bit different from the others and some aculptures are still sharp and beautiful.

One of the lesser known temples in Sukhothai Historical Park, it’s still worth a visit if only for a short while. For more of my travel adventures you are welcome to visit my travel blog called Two Passports Packed which can be found through a Google search.

Great place. You can enter for free before 6am or after 6pm.

Wat Si Sawai is one of the oldest temples in Sukhothai, the temple was founded in the late 12th or early 13th century as a Hindu shrine to Vishnu and the site of the Thiruppavai ceremony. The temple is enclosed by a double rampart and a moat. Striking are the three well-preserved laterite prangs representing the Hindu Trinity. The lower parts are of Khmer origin, while the upper part is of Thai make. Each prang contains a cella, possibly a stage for a lingam or statue, and a crypt. Around the 14th century the temple was adapted to the Buddhist faith: the vihara was added to the south of the central prang.

The only Khamer style temple in the fenced Historical Park area. Well preserved/reconstructed - including most of the sandstone perimeter wall. Some Instagrammer dodging required (but possible) :-)

Perhaps one of the oldest temples in the Sukathai historic complex demonstrates strong Khmer influence, reminiscent of structures you might see in Anghor Wat. A stunningly well preserved/restored site with a great aura of tranquility and spirituality.

It's museum. It was free entrance. The museum itself is not so big, but they exhibit the goods related buddhism and are so interested. It's good place to vist.

Brilliant park and monuments. Bike hire for viewing. Outstanding.

Pretty good museum to teach you Phitsanulok story and Naresuan King amazing battles. Coint 30-40mins visit. Free

Beautiful place must go if you are at this province.

Lots of antiuqe but poor organise or explaination.Too much commercials around the whole place.

Phra Si Rattana Mahathat Temple Or commonly known as "Wat Yai", it is located on Phutthabucha Road on the eastern bank of Nan River. Opposite to Phitsanulok City Hall

Worth visit, if you have some spare time left.

Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat - "Wat Yai". This temple is very famous in Thailand. Inside the main chapel, there is a golden Buddha image called Phra Phuttha Chinnarat. You must visit the temple during night time. It is peaceful and windy cool.

- Pretty crowded as this is one of the most famous temples in Thailand - It is very hot here and you have to take your shoes off at some places so better wear socks so your feet won't get burned - A lot of Buddha statues to be worshipped and a lot of small Buddha statues can be bought here - Tourists police station is located here to make sure everybody is protected in case of anything - Washroom available - Entrance fee for foreigner is 40 thb

A majestic and spiritually rich temple dating back to the 14th century, Wat Yai is one of the most revered Buddhist sites in Thailand. The centerpiece is Phra Phuttha Chinnarat, a stunning golden Buddha statue considered one of the most beautiful in the country. The main hall is adorned with intricate gold-and-red patterns, crystal chandeliers, and detailed murals — a breathtaking sight that reflects both artistry and devotion. It’s not just a tourist attraction but a living temple where locals come to pray and pay respect. Whether you're seeking peace, beauty, or a deeper cultural experience, this temple delivers it all. Verdict: A sacred masterpiece of Thai spirituality — timeless, tranquil, and awe-inspiring.

Interesting Buddhist temple. We were there during Thai religious holiday in weekend and took long time to find a parking lot.

Very impressed of this traditional Thai temple, so calm and gorgeous temple. Should go.

Nice temple, so when you near by visit it, for non thai 40 bath entrance fee

A huge Buddhist​ temple​, one of the most beautiful​ and one of the most popular​ Buddha statues​ in Thailand. Free entry and lots of car parking space inside. Definitely​ worth​ the visit. There is free car park and while you are here you can visit another​ old temple​ across​ the road. Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat Woramahawihan (commonly called Wat Yai) is one of the most revered temples in Thailand. It is famous for its architectural beauty, rich history, and spiritual significance. Key Highlights of Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat Woramahawihan 1.

Tourists: inform yourself at the hotel or your guide if the (night) market is open. Seems to open at 6pm for a few hours. Not until midnight as Google maps may indicate.

Nice and unexpectedly busy night market. Good COVID protection from most vendors wearing masks. Variety of food, drink,clothing and some massage shops but closed a little early. Nice XL boxers for 80 baht each

Best - never ending high density of food creations and local low-cost fashion

Not a lot going on, women's clothes, shoes, cosmetics and a few phone shops. Walk around the back of the stalls (along the river) and you will find good food stalls the whole length of the market

What a lot of the reviewers don't seem to understand is that this is a Night Market for Thai folks, it is not Western Tourist oriented. The bulk of the visitors to Phitsanulok are Thais and Asian Buddhists and they are there to see the famous and wonderful Phra Buddha Chinnarat. In terms of Night Markets then, this is their shopping area, while the produce and street food is located down by a train station about 700 meters away. It is for Asian folks with the usual selection of clothing and makeup, bras, jeans and panties and Tshirts, all in sizes far to small for me, fortune tellers, beer, herbal remedies and Thai style souvenirs. You will not see a lot of Westerners, in fact, I saw one other than myself on a beautiful Thursday night. To get there, just leave the train station and walk towrds the river. For pictures of Phitsanulok, visit my Instagram, Wildalaskaken_official

Waste of time. Hardly any visitors. Only selling the usual cheap clothes and souvenirs. The food areas were very quiet, and appeared to be very expensive. It looked as if this place has had its day.

A lot of food trucks and entertainment

Very interesting and many old artifacts and farm impliments. The collector was a talented and interesting artist. Spent 2 hours.

Learning center about old ways of living in Thailand. A nostalgic journey down the memory lane for old-timers. All open air, no air conditioning, so it can be a bit too warm and uncomfortable walking around. Not many visitors at all. Street parking only. With the cheap admission and the close proximity to the airport, it’s a stop worth visiting for an hour or so on your way to the airport.

Excellent museum with plentiful artefacts, displays and antiques stretching across Thai history to the prehistoric age. Foreigner 100 baht

Definitely worth the visit to take time to read the excellent detailed exhibit signage in both Thai and skillfully translated English. No shortcuts were taken in the translations. Good for those interested in increasing understanding of a cross section of history, art, and much more through the life's work of an individual and specialized artist and the legacy he humbly created.

Very nice museum showing about the history of Thailand and Phitsanulok. All information are given in English and Thai language. We lived it. Its very nicely presented and looked after. At the end we enjoyed a delicious Thai tea. The staff is very friendly. Visiting time was 2 hours. Entrance 100 Baht.

This private museum is belong to Sergeant Major Tawee to collect the local and old appliances which is a means of livelihood of the villagers in the past from small pieces to large pieces such as wickerwork, earthenware, household appliances and professional equipment such as a hand baler rice milling machine, animal trapping tool. Tens of thousands of pieces is get together as a treasure trove of history and Thai wisdom. This museum win the prizes of Excellent from the Thai tourism industry in the Type of tourism promotion and development agency in 1998. At the same time, Sergeant Major Dr. Tawee Buranaket, the founder, has received many honors. With his sculpture skills, therefore he was regarded as "Excellent cultural person in the field of craftsmanship Casting Technician Branch" of the year 1983. It’s take an hour to walk around this museum with fee 50 baht/person.

I am in love with place!!! I am glad that we made a move to visit to this museum. We took a metered taxi service to get there, from Topland Hotel, it costs us 66baht fares. (You can take Grab too) Beautiful ancient collection, bring back a lot of nostalgia memories (for me). We bought the ticket for 50baht (each) and it worthy! Wonderful place to experience Thai ancient tools & equipment, history, art & crafts and many more. There is a mini mart in the museum, where you can get some cold beverages to refresh yourself! I would love to come back again when I back to Phitsanulok.

Beautiful temple, I happen to go there on a even call " Ngan wat" which is similar to night market with unique fun park and games. The product and games are so cheap and localize. It's really beautiful how the temple is the heart of the local community. And people both respect and enjoy the temple.

beautiful (chinese buddhist style) temple. free vegetarian food. awesome views of the paddy fields from the top. a nice excursion just outside phitsanulok

Check in here by.GSB.

Very beautiful Buddha image inside. Good place to visit.

Good place. Beautiful temple.

A beautiful temple in Phichit Province

A good Buddhism place.

This place has very few non-Thai tourists visiting, so you might well stand out if you are from, say, Scotland. There's a big lake with a good view, and swamps. You will find here all the usual food stalls selling barbecued meats on sticks, fruits chopped up and served with sugar and chilis, and all manner of colourful drinks. And you will also notice a lot of crocodiles. If you don't like crocodiles, please stay away, because there is a legend in Pichit about Chalawan (who might have been a crocodile, or might have been a man, I can't remember, but definitely crocodiles were involved) and so that's what you get at Pichit tourist attractions. Crocodiles, crocodiles, and crocodiles.

Looked like a great place from outside but sadly was fully booked.

In-progress for renew the quai. Cozy place to relax for the sunset

Good

Nice

Was on this lake on first tour “world jetski championship”

Relaxing

This is a great hike. Very well maintained and safe path of stairs and ladders (they can get really hot). Not recommended if you have fear of heights or if you are unsure about hiking. If you are physically unable/unsure to climb, you can follow the Stairs until the ladders start, but you will not have a view this way. You will Meet the monkeys though. They did seem friendly, but i did not Interact with them. Be careful with your car! Our car got small monkey damage (some scratches), because we parked in the parking space close to the trail. Luckily it was a rental car 😂

The trail starts with hundreds of easy stairs that eventually become fixed ladders on cliffs. The trail is adrenaline packed yet mostly safe. Obviously not recommended for those with a fear of heights or aren't comfortable using a ladder. There are hundreds of monkeys waiting for you at the base of the mountain. Plenty of parking and food is also available yet there is no entry fee. I would recommend wearing a good pair of shoes and gloves since the ladders are made of steel that can become burning hot even early in the morning.

It’s stunning view 💛takes 700 steps stairway and + 90 degrees climb up. Hiking takes 45-60 mins to the peak. Recommend to park in cage area in the temple.

Short intense 30 min hike to the top. Handrails will get very hot after 10 am. If you can't manage to start the hike after sunrise bring some gloves. I burnt both hands starting the hike at 10 am 😆. Many monkeys at the bottom but they are not causing any trouble unless you carry food. You can park the car near the stairs where the trail starts. If you pay a few THB the locals selling food for the monkeys will nicely cover your car to protect it from the sun. The hike is not dangerous but you should not be afraid of height or climbing steep ladders. The view is amazing and there is a small temple on the top. Enjoy!!

Wat Khao No - Khao Kaew is a group of limestone peaks with strange shapes. It can be clearly seen on Phaholyothin Road, Nakhon Sawan - Kamphaeng Phet, which is located in Ban Dan Subdistrict. Banphot Phisai District Nakhon Sawan Province This area can be considered a historical site. Because once King Chulalongkorn, King Rama V, used to travel to Khao No by traveling in the northern region via the Ping River in 1906, later in the year 1909 he gave things to the royal Father Yam, Ban Dan Temple as well. Khao Nor is separated from Khao Kaew by a local road. In his part, the shoot is divided into two parts: 1. Khao Nang Phanthurat will be a small limestone mountain can walk up to see the view There are only about 60 steps, at the top there is a small cave. There is a large reclining Buddha image and a small Buddha image in front. Tourists can come to pay homage to each other. 2. Khao Phra Phutthabat a big mountain Away from Khao Nang Phanthurat about 300 meters, there are about 700 steps of cement stairs to walk up to see the view on the mountain. This child is the highlight of this place. Because the path up to the top of the mountain is quite steep. even if the path is mortar But some parts are steep, about 90 degrees ever. And it's like climbing a cliff. Anyone who is afraid of heights may not be suitable. But if anyone likes a challenge and adventure. This is a great climbing place.

Worth hiking!!! The trail compose of two part. The first half of the trial are concrete steps and remaining is all metal climb ladder. Not recommend for elder. The last half is pretty steep. The are some monkey along the way. I spend around 2hour and a half for round trip. Tip: recommended to parked your car in the temple. There are safe cage parking in the temple which keep the monkey out.

Majestic. Free of charge. No people. About 30-60 mins to the top. One down side is the hike is 100% straight elevation. So prepare an energy bar.

Beautiful temple on top of the hill that you can observe the entire Nakhon Sawan (นครสวรรค์) city from the top of the temple. This temple is the main landmark of Nakhon Sawan that can be seen from almost everywhere in the city, and this is probably the main or one of the really sacred temples of the city, too, as this temple located on top of the hill from the beliefs to be closer to heaven. The temple is also decorated in golden color and contains multiple important artifacts like the some remain of Buddha and his disciples alongside multiple paintings depicting Buddhism related story. If you have a chance to visit Nakhon Sawan, this temple is a must visit for any Buddhist or those who seek to learn Thai cultures and history.

Nice temple great view but there were a lot of bird feces while had to take off the shoes

I was renting a car so I drove straight up to the golden temple. The temple building glimmered under the morning sun with intervals of relaxing, cold breeze. The observation deck is a few minutes walk away.

Beautiful temple at the bottom of the mountain with the golden pagoda. Located at the end of a very authentic local street so just walking to this temple is a nice ecperience. A lot of beautiful statues can be found here also.

Beautiful location and temple, can drive and park car at top

Beautiful temple with great view of Nakhon Sawan.

A beautiful and serene look-out point over the city. A 5 minute walk away from the observation tower

Good place for relax and chill out. There are walking, running or biking lanes about 2.8 km which is around lake. There are also publish restrooms every 800m-1 km. This place is quite quiet and not many people. You can park at dragon status or side of footpath.

Great place to walk, jog, bike, exercise, or just chill. You can also feed squirrels, fish, and big monitor lizards here.

Nice comfortable park with a lot of trees Great for exercise

Extremely beautiful green lung area in the center of Nakhon Sawan. Very big dragon statues at the south entrance alongside some beautiful buildings. Locals come here especially during late afternoon to exercise and run around the lake. It’s a big park and walking around the lake will take about 30-40 minutes. A bridge connects a small island in the middle with the rest of the park. Go see it when you find yourself in Nakhon Sawan it has my best recommendations

Nice landmark and public space. There are people here for outdoor running and jogging. It must be beautiful when the lights are on in the evening.

Amazing area for sport and physical activities just in the center of the city. A large lake, a small islet linked by two bridges, a wide park with a lot of tall trees, some bats, no stray dogs, no ubiquitous motorcycles or engines inside the park. Only happy people walking or running with disciple along the proper lanes, all anticlockwise. Bycicle are the only ones allowed to turn clockwise, but into the specific blu bike lane. A fantastic free car environment which most of the Thai towns miss. Great place. Don't miss it.

Nice park. There are many shadowy trees and benches. It's possible to sit in day time. You can walk or run in the morning or in the evening. The big lake is always full. It is kept in order and clean.

This is a beautiful and somewhat unseen destination that's definitely worth a stop if you're passing through the area. However, it might not be worth a dedicated trip from Bangkok on its own. The main highlight is the journey into a massive chamber formed by a collapsed mountain. The path takes you through a cave, and the walk isn't too long. It's a fun little adventure with some minor rock scrambling, a few stairs, and some slightly slippery ground, but it's manageable for kids and active seniors. At the entrance, you'll find a small market with food stalls, a local coffee shop, and a public restroom. It’s a great place to stop, stretch your legs, and enjoy a unique natural sight.

Literally a hidden gem until it was discovered in the 70s this is an amazing place. The short tunnel to access the valley only adds to the adventure. Flashlights provided. There is well marked path circling through the unique plants. We were lucky and spotted 2 pink caterpillars.

"Hub Pa Tan is one of the most important tourist attractions and a true landmark of Uthai Thani. Many TV channels have filmed dramas and movies here. The area is filled with beautiful nature, fascinating wildlife, caves, and bats, making it a truly rich and breathtaking natural destination."

Fantastic place Worth to visit Don’t miss if u come to Uthai Thani (many beautiful resorts not too far from here) Cave with short easy path (flashlight provided at the entrance) Easy hiking with short fantastic nature trail Not too dangerous for Elderly

A must for mini adventurer. 200 stairs to climb, walk through a tunnel to find a million year forest with strange species of insect, mushroom and plant. Recommend to ask for young tourguide, available on weekends.

Walking through Hup Pa Tat is like crossing into another realm. The filtered sunlight, lush greenery, and untouched atmosphere spark the imagination, you can’t help but wonder if you’ve entered a “Jurassic World.”. 200 baht for foreigners but the money is well spent.

Jurassic Parc Great place Only beware of the odour of bats' excrements in the cave. As always in Thailand foreigners are charged way more than Thais...here 7fold. I am still angry about this fact.

It's a landmark of Uthai Tani where you can visit the temples and museum on the top of the mountain and have a great view of the whole town.

The view from the top is worth the climb. Amazing experience. The temple was not crowded when we visit.

Good place to see whole Uthai city. Temple is under construction. However there are many beautiful statues can be seen.

Beautiful view of the entire city. Not too crowded because of the virus shutdown.

The view from the top is beautiful and you can see the entire city of Uthai. There are 2 ways to get to the top of the mountain: a pedestrian route up 449 steps (Entrance 1) and a car route (Entrance 2). You have to drive past the Provincial Stadium. The way up is beautiful, not steep, but you have to pay attention to the signs.

One of the most stunning temple in Uthaithani. The design of the temple is unique beautiful and stunning. If you plan to come and visit you can plan to spend about 1-2 hours here. The temple has a large area walking will take more time. However, in the temple there is a small car cost20 baht per person. You can get on the car and he will bring you around the important area. However please not that most of the place will be close during 11.45-13.00 for the monk to practice. It’s one of the temple you should visit.

There is a break time for this place. Take note. 1145 is the lunch to 1400hr There will be close. There is free lunch on some days After gone into the place it look very beautiful. Worth the wait for the opening after 2pm.

An absolutely breathtaking temple. Wat Tha Sung is easily one of the most stunning and unique temples in all of Thailand. The main highlight, the "Viharn Kaeo" or Crystal Hall, is unforgettable. You step inside a 100-meter-long hall where every single surface—walls, pillars, and ceiling—is covered in a mosaic of glittering mirrors. The effect is dazzling and overwhelming, like standing inside a diamond. It’s incredibly beautiful and feels both grand and deeply peaceful. This hall also contains the body of the revered monk Luang Phor Lersi Lingdam in a glass coffin. Don't miss the "Prasat Thong Kham" (Golden Castle) either. It's an enormous, incredibly intricate building covered entirely in gold that stands in stark contrast to the white and silver Crystal Hall. The entire temple complex is huge, well-maintained, and has a very serene, spiritual atmosphere despite being a popular spot for devotees. Be sure to check the specific opening times for the Crystal Hall, as it closes for a lunch break. This place is a must-see in Uthai Thani—photos truly don't do it justice!

Calm and astonishingly in the same time. I visited more than 20 years ago, enlarged more chapels and places, some place decorate around with stanless steel and good management . The main chapel will open only morning, please check the time before entry.

Wat Tha Sung dates back to the Ayutthaya period. The name “Tha Sung” comes from the fact that the area was once a port (Tha = port) for transporting logs (Sung = timber) along the Sakae Krang River. In 1968, Phra Ratchapromyan (Luang Pho Ruesi Lingdam) was appointed as abbot and began a major renovation and expansion of the temple. Many of the buildings seen today date from this period. The temple contains the remains of this abbot who was of great importance to the temple.

Very pretty interior with and beware that there’s visit time, I go in around 10:45am. After my worship at the main building, there’s a mini bus 20baht per person to bring you for a tour to another building, a tour is around 30 minutes.

So beautiful avoid weekend. Highly recommend.

Nice fresh water fishes aquarium. Good place to drop by if you have plan visiting Supan Buri. They claimed that this is the 1st Fresh Water Tunnel Aquarium in Thailand, the widest Shark tunnel in Thailand and they have Lemon Shark which you can see only at this aquarium. Well, overall, I’m impressed

Reached after 3pm, no queue, but surprisingly the aquarium is nicely built .though not as modern as singapore SEA Aquarium but it's got all the fun thing for kids, touch the starfish, shark tunnel. They do have what singapore don't, tens od croc and the feeding time for a low fees of below 200baht for local and foreigner.

Excellent aquarium with various types of fish from small freshwater fish to sharks that overall are in healthy conditions, which are really great that despite being considerably a pretty old aquarium, there's still something new for newcomers to explore and study or simply observe multiple fish types in difference area of the buildings. Other than that, there's also crocodiles, both freshwater and saltwater, in their enclosure that you can watch their activities via metal bridges around their pen.

Randomly saw the billboard on the highway & thought we would take a look… this place was great for the price! Everything was professional, clean & well signed and informative. There were a lot of school kids groups in attendance we went but the park was so big it didn’t feel crowded. The escalators/travelators were a lovely touch going through the many fish tunnels. Would recommend this… we were there about 90-100mina and saw everything but the croc show… we left that for the kids! But definitely recommend this place for a quick day trip if in the area.

Good aquarium and a big place. Not expensive like in Bangkok. Very impressed!

Highly recommended to come for small hiking and make a wish for best fortune in life. Nice view, windy and good weather early this year. There are 2 main trails 1) for visiting golden buddha 2) to hike up around 1.6 km with 3,700++ stairs🦁 I did both with my friend and it was really fun. We went at 6 pm at night where there is a chinese event for few days all nights.

A popular destination for both spiritual pilgrims and adventure seekers. The challenge is to climb all 3,790 steps to reach the summit, where you’ll find a sacred Buddha footprint and a breathtaking panoramic view. Along the way, there are rest stops and drink stalls to keep you going. During the annual festival from February 1–15, the path is lit up, allowing visitors to climb day or night.

A wonderful hike up the mountain in the Lopburi Province. The climb was exhilarating and the view at the top breathtaking. I would love to visit this province everytime i visit Thailand.

If you're tired of the steps there is also a trail up through the forest. From the top make your way to the corner of the helicopter landing area at these exact coordinates 14.962531,100.710682 and you will see the trail going alongside the fence where the phone mast is. Or if you are starting from the bottom search Google maps for เขาวงพระจันทร์ ทางวิ่งเทรล and look for a trail leading into the forest. This trail is 3km each way. There is 1 fork in the trail about half way which takes you to the massive golden Buddha which is another route option if 3km in the forest is a bit much. This middle trailhead is at exact coordinates 14.963903,100.700918 It's good for exercise but view is spoiled by haze during the dry season.

My friends had already booked, so we decided to join. Glad we did, it's vertical steps all the way, but we took our time and loved it. We started just before 4pm, perfect timing to take in the views and then watch the stunning sunset. The path is safe at night because its fully lit. I believe the temple is open 24 hours one time a year. Be careful, after the sun goes down the queues to get in were hours long. Would definitely like to climb the stairs again one day.

No entry fee but there's a donation box for those who'd like to help out the temple. Recommend to come very early. We came at 6am. The hike up was nice, breezy and quiet. Only friendly (and quite buff) dogs to keep us company. Be warned the hike up stairs is quite challenging stamina wise though having the steps makes it pretty easy technically. After you reach the gate at the top, there's still further stairs with Naga (serpents) on them that you can take to the top. There's a trail you can take on the way down but it's much longer than the stair option (3km).

Wonderful mountain side temple. We were there during a fair but you can climb up the stairs on the ridge to the summit which is a great place to see sunset or sunrise (if you are up for 3800 steps). Alternatively, there is a big Buddha which is easier to reach and still provides a pleasant view over the local area.

The brochure said must visit this temple in Singburi. I obeyed and here going to submit my review. Just too commercial with several table selling and donations. Already so many donation boxes all over. The temple has it own unique style. Is worth to make a trip while in Singburi. Video and photos tell you all You decide. Thank you

Nice place and all, but nets tied below the building ceilings (supposedly to prevent Feral Pigeons from nesting) got many birds that are not pigeons tangled dead. Buddhist monks seem to be careless about this issue.

One of a large famous Reclining Buddha which need to restore and epair due to the damage. You can donate to support. Parking are available in the temple area.

amazing architecture and interior designs. I was recommend by a friend because I loved old historical places and I was very impressed to be able to see many old bhuda statues with different artistic art styles. The halls are really nicely decorated with traditional thai engravings. There is also a traditional market

Very beautiful and inspiring temple. This was my first ever visit, but I am sure I would remember it for whole my life. There are not many places around leaving you speachless but this is one of them

Beautiful temple in Singburi. Definitely worth a visit. This temple has a huge reclining Buddha statue and it's one of the main highlights in this small province.

Impressive declining Buddha

Sam Chuk Market in Suphan Buri Province has been a beloved traditional market for over a century, known for its vibrant atmosphere and street food. My wife and I visited about ten years ago, experiencing the energy, aromas of freshly cooked dishes, and local delicacies. The market reflects the region's cultural heritage with its wooden architecture and friendly locals sharing stories. Our visit evoked nostalgia and appreciation for the traditions preserved in this lively area of Thailand, leaving lasting memories of its rich cultural tapestry.

Amazing historical market! The variety of goods and food for sale was amazing!

Cute little market with a mix of food and toys. Most of the area is covered, but there are some parts where you're exposed to the sun. It's not particularly big, so you can easily explore the whole market in an hour or two. Several parking lots surround the market, and motorbike trailers will take you to the entrance for 5 Baht, although it's only a short walk. There isn't a wide variety of products, but the place was bustling on the Saturday afternoon we visited. The atmosphere is great, with some charming paintings on the walls around the market, and the people at the shops we visited were lovely. Definitely worth a visit if you're passing through.

The Local market was showing theirs life and culture a lot there. Most of the products quite similar in each outlet, including the dessert and snacks both. You may found the shop same as the next two shop. Which a little bit offers in different prices. However it was good fun to join and watched there. The food inside the market not much for us to select, there for we found some restaurants operate there compared with the price paid with local environmental and food inside the bowl. It was totally surprising. Moreover, not much choice for us to find a food kind of sit and eat.

Classic old market over 100 years old. Not very busy on weekday. Old Cafe in the corner has been opened for more than a hundred year. Owner is friendly and informative. Lovely market to visit in Supanburee. Recommend to visit an old house which is turned into a museum.

Better than most other market I’ve been to. Fairly cool to walk around. It’s not as hot and humid as some others. Lots of covered area. They have hot food, drink, cold food, snack, dry food, fresh food, bric and brac, clothing, jewellery, shoes, hats, and more. This is an old traditional market. Great walk and view. Make sure to try some food. 😊 There is a parking area near the gate 20 Baht / car. Toilet is quite clean as well. 5 Baht to use. Money drop near the sink.

Thais use to come here to buy some old-style cookies, cakes and sweet candies. Today the market updated a bit. Now you can find toys, lot of noodles restaurants, fish (fried and dried) fish balls (very famous shop here). Nice atmosphere, even not everywhere is "originaly vintage" still definitely one of my fav places here in Suphanburi. Ps: still one old shop selling music tapes from the '80 (Thai music only).

Great site to visit! Not super busy during the weekday. I would say, it gets really hot in the afternoon so I would suggest going early morning or late evening. Wear walking shoes because there are several steps, but you can also get dropped off at Gate 4, to avoid the long stairway. We walked the stairs up and had our driver take us back.

Visited in March 2025, the ruins themselves are quite small, not much information given about them, only takes 10 minutes to walk around and glance inside (nothing of note inside). Main attraction of course are the monkeys, pretty cool to see them around the temple ruins. In my experience not aggressive at all as some have suggested, mainly ignore you or if anything are shy, tend to run away if you're within a metre of them. They give you a stick at the entrance, hope nobody actually beats them with it...

Cool ancient ruins of a Buddhist temple. Popular IG spot for both visitors and locals of Lopburi. Not necessary to pay the entrance fee as you can see it from the road, unless you want to pay 5x the price as locals to have a closer experience with the monkeys.

An ancient Khmer-style temple and one of Lopburi’s most iconic landmarks. The three connected prangs represent the Hindu Trimurti — Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva — and were later transformed into a Buddhist sanctuary. Not as many monkeys as before, since most of them have been relocated by the municipality, but you can still see some around the area. It’s now much calmer and easier to walk around without worrying about mischievous monkeys. We visited around 4:30 PM, and the temple looked stunning in the soft golden light. The weather was pleasant and not too hot — it gave the place such a cozy, peaceful feeling. The entrance fee for foreigners is 80 THB. Parking is available nearby, and the site is easy to explore. Take less than 30 mins to stroll around and take a bunch of photos. A wonderful stop to admire ancient Khmer architecture, history, and serenity — especially at sunset. 🌅

The most popular landmark of Lopburi and the most lovely animal of the province, monkeys. Went there in May 2025 and they said that most of monkeys were relocated. The monkeys are really cute but they can be a little bit snatchers. You should be extra careful and listen to the officers. Keep all your accessories in your bags. All of the small and shiny things should be put away from their sight including glasses, phones, car keys, keychains, bracelet, necklace and earings. Once you loose it, you never get it back. Please love the monkeys and be kind to them.

One of the famous landmark in Lopburi province. It was a special place for me to visit. The weather was awesome no crowd at all. They take care of the place in a good way. The ticket price is 80THB for foreigners. A good place to visit if you love history.

Oct 2025 Last visited in 2022. There were a lot more monkeys roaming around then.

A must visit when in Lopburi. It’s 200b for foreigner adults but children can enter for free, well worth the ticket price, you get an immersion of Thai history, and the grounds very well preserved. Go into the museum when it gets too hot.

Wonderful. It's 150baht for foreigners to enter. Free for children. Car parking is just inside the wall or there is on street parking around the outside. My 6yo daughter really enjoyed exploring the grounds and museums with me. Staff were all very friendly. Will visit again.

If you've come all the way to Lop Buri, may as well see the only other main sight (apart from the zoo) and something different to the usual complex It is in large grounds and peaceful and quiet. Large amount of artifacts and a good explanatory history who was perhaps responsible for keeping away the potential colonists of France, Holland, Britain and the USA.

Large and beautiful palace grounds. Lovely landscapes filled with green parks, tall trees (perhaps a century old), and ancient palace buildings. Some are completely intact, others are in partial ruins. It was nice to stroll through the palace and take many panoramic photos. The entrance fee cost 150 thb for foreign and 30 thb for local visitors. Kids can enter for free. We spent about 1.5 hours here.

Duel pricing in place for foreigners, but I don't have a problem with that. Surprisingly good inside, big area with plenty to explore. Enjoyed the museums and would definitely recommend if you're visiting Lopburi. Added bonus, unlike many areas of the city, I didn't see one Monkey.

Very well worth the 30 baht entry for Thais. Parking available at the front of the museum for free. The Museum provides a lot of interesting history from the stone age and particularly concentrated during the height of lopburi influence (11th & 17th century). Lots of important artefacts that belong in much bigger museums. The palace grounds are not covered and can get very hot but still an interesting walk through the ruins. Ticket can be bought as combo with other lopburi attractions. Be wary of monkeys around on the roads outside during the late afternoons.

For me personally the highlight of Lopburi city center. The calm atmosphere with the remainings of the palace. And also the museum with interesting artifacts. Beautiful visit.

This historical ruins is exquisite and magnificent. The old royal palace is located in opposite side of Lopburi train station. It is believed that the temple was built in King Narai's era. With combination of Thai, French and Gothic arts, the temple is still elegant and beautiful even it was left in ruins. It's pleasant and peaceful to walk around slowly and see the beauty of the ruins. Best time to visit is in morning when the weather is not too hot.

It is an amazing place to visit. When you come to Thailand, you want stop by in Lopburi and stay for a night or two. There have great food and inexpensive (most are 25 Thai Bath) and local hotels are cheap. There are temples and monuments to visit and see live at morning market. Hang out and eat variety of food on the Walking Street (very close to Train Station). Cheer!!

Bring a sun umbrella if you plan to walk around the ruins at a relaxed pace.

This temple is opposite the train station. Entrance fee is 50 baht or you can buy a ticket 150 baht for 4 significant monuments, use in the day. I bought the ticket for 4 places but honestly I was not really impressed with them. The old trees in these places were so amazing. Monkeys are everywhere. If you have time, I highly recommend 2 beautiful temples in the suburb: Wat Khao Wong Phrachan, Wat Phrabat Nam Phu. They are both worth a visit.

This temple is one of our favorites with my boyfriend, no monkeys so we felt safer. The ruins are beautiful, wide and really it's a really calm place (there were just the two of us) !! The entry is 50 thb and believe me it is really worth the price compared to monkey temple...

Great place to take nice pictures while traveling and learn some Thai history. I love the architecture of the time, and these ruins show you a little about past architectural practices. Definitely recommend that you make sure to bring a lot of water to drink since it is very humid and hot in this country. You will sweat a lot, but it is also a very beautifully green and lush country 😇🙌

Interesting temple ruins, which are one of the best known places in Lopburi. At first I was a bit put off by the entrance fee double pricing, but had a fun experience visiting this place. You can learn quite a lot about the history here.

Wat Khun-Intha Pramul Wat Khun-Intha Pramul is located at Intra Pramul Sub-District, Po Thong District, Ang Thong Province. The temple is known as an important temple in Ayutthaya Period with its renowned gigantic Reclining Buddha Image built with bricks and mortar. The Reclining Buddha faces the north with 50 meters long and 11 meters high and is called by the locals "Phra Sri Mueang Thong" Originally, there was a Vihara sheltered the Reclining Buddha but it was collapsed later and hence the Buddha look like it is placed on a mound. It is therefore known by the locals as "Khok Phra Non". The temple consisted of an Ubosot and a large Vihara. When the First Burmese Invasion, this temple had been burned and was left abandoned for about hundred years until it was restored when the reign of King Boromakot (1732-1758). Legend has it that "Khun Intra" a taxman was punished for he had embezzled public funds to restore the Reclining Buddha. The temple then named after him "Wat Phra Non Khun-Intra Pramul" In Rattanakosin Period (1878-1908), when King Rama V had excursions to Khlong Makham Thao, he made two visits to pay his respect to the Reclining Buddha at this temple. The temple has been restored since then Wat Khun-Intra Pramul has been registered and announced as a National Ancient Monument of 58 Rais, 2 Ngans and 34 square wahs in the Government Gazette Volume 52, Section 75 dated 8 March 1935. The Fine Arts Department has restored the temple and the Reclining Buddha since 1975 until present. The 3rd Regional Office of Fine Arts, Phra Nakhon Sri Ayutthaya มาแล้วมาอีก วัดเก่าแก่ที่ควรค่าแก่การรักษาไว้

Biggest reclining buddha in Thailand, since Ayuddhaya period, im not counting new one cause its just built no story!!!

Amazing place to sooth your mind and soul.Being a temple all customs are religiously followed. Vibrant color buildings ,massage centres nearby, connectivity via road and river, street food available outside temple. Fees of 100 baht seems nominal Also if someone is interested in meditation,der were different sessions going on simultaneously. So overall a must visit place.if someone is going to Bangkok.

We arrived at night and was allowed in the temple. Very convenient for people who want to rent a Thai costume because there are a few rent shops just across the street. Parking is easy to find but prolly because we got there at night.

Located in Inthaprumool Subdistrict, this ancient temple was built during the Sukhothai period. Judging from the remains of the original boundary bricks, it was a large temple and served as the foundation for a grand Buddha image. It was known as "Phra Si Mueang Thong" and spanned a length of 50 meters (25 wa) from the tip of the Buddha's feet to the tip of the Buddha's head. The ancient temple was presumed to be one of the largest temples in the past, based on the remains of the boundary bricks. It housed a grand Buddha image known as "Phra Si Mueang Thong," and its length extended for 50 meters (25 wa) from the Buddha's feet to the Buddha's head. Originally, it was enshrined within a monastery but was destroyed by fire and collapsed during the fall of Ayutthaya in the First Ayutthaya Period. Only the reclining Buddha statue, exposed to the elements for hundreds of years, remained in the open. The reclining Buddha statue resembled the style and size of the Phra Nakhon Chedi in Sing Buri Province, suggesting that they were built during the same period. The reclining Buddha featured a beautifully crafted Buddha figure with a serene expression, a gentle smile, and an aura of tranquility, reflecting the profound spirituality. Inside the temple, there are ancient ruins of the main ordination hall of Phra Khao and only the base, some sections of the walls, and the Buddha image remain. As for the main hall or Ubosot, it contains a sculpture of Khun Inthaprumool and human skeletons discovered in the temple complex in 1998. The reclining Buddha statue was found lying face down with its hands and feet stretched out behind. Some speculate that it might be the skeleton of Khun Inthaprumool himself, while others claim otherwise. According to the historical account, Khun Inthaprumool was the person who commissioned the construction of the Buddha image using money taken from the royal treasury to create a religious sanctuary. When the king found out and asked where the money came from, Khun Inthaprumool refused to reveal the truth, fearing that the temple's donations would be taken away by the king. As a result, he was tortured to death and became the origin of the name "Wat Khun Inthaprumool."

the huge reclining Buddha with Yellow Robe is so grand, so beautiful, whatever from a distant at the front, or come close to the details ! the nearby Luang Phor Khao Ancient Vihara Ruin has a lot of stories, a lot of details (but we didn’t go in and disturb the nun there) ! too bad, we missed the modern multi-storey building at the back; is it a wat or a vihara ?

Great place to go when in Thailand. That have the big reclining Buddha but also lots of other fantastic things to look at! Be weary if people on he street saying it’s closed! Because those are hustlers trying to get you into shops! Also women: long skirts or pants are a must and covered shoulders! You have to pay to visit it, 200 baht

We came here on 7 June 2025. No need to buy any tickets. It’s a peaceful temple area. Come for blessings and give thanks 🙏🏻 Ample car parking just opposite and it’s free.

Beautiful revered temple with Footprint of Phra Phutta (Lord Buddha) Beautiful temple in shining gold colour with multi-colored walls. One Chinese temple in the premises. Don't miss ringing the series of bells by gently thumping by fingers. Large parking for easy access. Lots of shops and hawkers selling local stuff and local icecream, don't miss the coconut icecream being sold at only 20Baht, freshly served right away.

The most sacred and beautiful temple in Saraburi. You’ll get to witness the Buddha’s footprint, and pay your respects if you wish to do so. If you’re foreigner, avoid the people trying to sell entry tickets at the entrance. They’re very likely trying to scam you. (The entrance is free - to my knowledge at 2025)

First time visiting this temple. Once I got inside, I feel relax. There are many Buddhist to pay respect. There is a small market near the temple for shopping especially lottery shops.

Magical fantastic place which has the feeling of a time machine which takes you back 1000 years. You can see here a footprint of Buddha. At the entrance there are monsters adorned in garlands of flowers. Lots of religious disciples coming from all over Thailand and also lots of tourists.

Beautiful and sacred place to visit in Saraburi. It is a mix cultural place and very popular among tourists especially Chinese people. Other than beautiful temple and shrine, you can feel calm and relax from the view and good landscape here. Moreover, there is the pavillion that located the statue of Hermit Doctor Cheewaka Komarapach. Anyone who sicks should come to visit and pray for better health.

There are famous Buddha Footprints in Thailand you must see in Saraburi... One is Wat Phra Phutthabat... Stairway to the Buddha Footprint is beautiful... Nice details architecture of the building interior...There are Chinese shrines and Thai spirit and Hindu God statues around the Buddha Footprint building... After you are seeing and prying at the Buddha Footprint you should go to the uphill... There is a nice view point at top of the mountain which is about 7-10 Minutes walking from Buddha Footprint.. Don't forget to take some drinking water... After you seeing things at Pagoda you may go to a local market is near the carparking area and you can buy some souvenir, try local snacks and drinks...

1. Wat Muang is a landmark temple in Ang Thong Province, located in central Thailand, about 50 kilometers from Ayutthaya. It takes approximately one hour to drive there. The temple is relatively small and easy to navigate, with an average visit lasting around 20 minutes. 2. The temple consists of five main areas: the main hall, a Chinese-style shrine, a sculpture zone, a small garden, and the giant Buddha. The layout is linear. The entrance leads to the main hall, which features a traditional Thai exterior but a rather unusual interior—silver mirrored ceiling, golden chandeliers, silver columns, and a large lotus base, giving it a distinctly eclectic style. 3. To the left of the main hall is a small Chinese-style shrine dedicated to Guanyin (the Thousand-armed Bodhisattva) and Tang Sanzang. Although modest in size, it represents the temple’s fusion of Chinese religious elements, which is common in Thai temples. 4. Between the main hall and the giant Buddha lies the sculpture zone. This area includes statues depicting Buddhist concepts of karmic punishment—such as long-tongued demons, hell guardians, boiling pots, and fire pits—mixed with figures from both Buddhist and Taoist traditions. The overall layout lacks thematic coherence and appears more like a collage of diverse religious symbols. 5. Beyond the sculpture zone is a small garden, leading to the platform of the giant Buddha. The statue, named Phra Buddha Maha Nawamin, is 92 meters tall and 63 meters wide, making it the largest seated Buddha in Thailand. It is currently under maintenance, entirely white in appearance, and the stairway at its base is closed, so visitors cannot approach or climb it. The statue can only be viewed from a distance. 6. For photography, the best angle is from the rice field outside the temple, where the Buddha can be framed with green paddies and blue sky. It’s recommended to avoid midday due to heat; early morning or late afternoon offers better lighting. 7. The temple is free to enter and generally quiet, with few tourists. The atmosphere is calm and relaxed.

The largest seated Buddha in Thailand. Currently being painted. On all my visits, it has never been possible to walk up the steps to the Buddha, like seen on many videos. Maybe that is only open on certain religious days. In any case, it is a must visit. The hell-torture statues are unusual but I wish there were some English descriptions.

This temple is one of the main attractions in Thailand, although the province is quite unknown for most tourists. The main point here is that it's the site of the largest Buddha statue in Thailand. There's plenty of space to park and it's really worth visiting. i'd recommend bringing an umbrella as the site of the Buddha statue is in the open sun, and it's really bright and hot on most days.

An amazing temple! Huge Buddah image! My Wife symbol. Many interesting things to do there including story telling with large lifelike size statues

Visited on 20 November 2024: Excellent temple to visit. Peaceful and windy today. Not many people. Clean environment. Lots of parking spots.

The temple is originally a row-dug site from the late Ayutthaya Kingdom (around 2230 B.E.). It was destroyed during the Burmese invasion (around 2310 B.E.) and remained a ruin for a long time. The official name of the Great Buddha statue is Phra Phuttha Mahanawamintra Sakayamuni Sri Wiset Chai Chan. It was erected as a tribute to King Bhumibol on the 50th anniversary of his accession to the throne. It is made of concrete and painted gold, with a height of approximately 93 meters and an estimated width (foot) of 62–63 meters. Construction took 16 years, from around 1991–2008. This makes it Thailand's largest Buddha statue, the second largest in Southeast Asia, and one of the tallest in the world. In addition to the great Buddha, there is a temple and a whole series of figures that symbolize all the suffering that humans will face in hell for the evil deeds they have committed.

Big Buddha. under the renovation during this period. Plenty of free parking lot. Entrance free also.

We stopped to make merit on the way home to Kanchanaburi from Saphan Buri. A nice temple, but it was packed when we got there, there\a celebration for a new monk and loads of his friends and family had turned up. Band playing and lots of dancing.

We visited on 13 AUG 2025. It was a hot day. Big temple grounds. Many local visitors today because yesterday was the Queen Mother’s 92nd birthday also known as Mother’s Day in Thailand. Lots of car park spaces.

🌹 Wat Pa Lelai Worawihan 🌻 Wat Pa Lelai Worawihan in Suphan Buri Province is an ancient temple of great historical and Buddhist significance. Its most striking feature is the large Luang Pho To Buddha image, enshrined in the exquisitely architectural viharn. Paying homage to Luang Pho To is considered auspicious, as it is believed to be sacred and bestow success. Furthermore, the viharn houses murals depicting the life of the Buddha and folklore, making a visit to the temple not only a place of worship but also a place of learning and immersion in Thai art and culture. 🌺 The atmosphere within Wat Pa Lelai Worawihan is peaceful and shady, perfect for making merit and practicing Dhamma. Despite the large number of visitors, the temple grounds are well-managed to ensure that it never feels crowded.

Amazing what has been realised here, and still under construction. Great temple complex which makes a visit a great pleasure. Although very popular thus crowded there are still enough quiet places for a meditation. Very friendly environment

Feels good to be there. Very fortunate to have seen the miniature Buddha statue for inviting home.

The Wat Pa Lelai Waorawihan in Suphanburi is famous for two reasons: the 23.46 meter high Buddha statue and where some scenes from the famous Thai epic Khun Chang Khun Phaen take place. The Wat Pa Lelai is classified as a third class royal temple and therefore has the designation Worawihan.

You must visit once when you are in Bangkok because It's easy to go to Suphan Buri by bus. About 1.30 hours away from Bangkok. There are many spots to take a photo with your friend and your family 😁

Nice spot to walk around and take photo shots

One of the best Chinese museum in Thailand.

Lovely china town with museum, so perfect

Good management with several attractions

Good Place

Excellent

This place is crazy good… one of the best museums in Thailand.They contributed history with technology, the story telling is amazing with light effects and screen everywhere #must visit

It's 100bhat for entry into the dragon, you have to go with the tour cannot go alone, very interesting & fun👍👍👍 there's no toilet in the dragon so make sure u go before entering 😀

Very well presented and imaginatively planned.

Massive Chinese dragon you can see it for miles ! Very colourful place and great for pictures! Wasn’t impressed with the lady and hosepipe on the marble staircase up the tower ! No shoes on so like an ice rink !! Museum was closed on the Monday

Museum visits on January 3, 2020. Very friendly staff. A charming English-speaking guide explained the sights. It is a fun and educational museum. The price for the excellent service was 149 Baht. The immediate area also offers many other free sights. Take the camera with you.

A well organized romp through 5,000 years of Chinese history. The tour was in Thai. I declined the English language headphones as reviews on here said they don't work well. I used Wikipedia to acquaint myself with the historical details. The tour is a little long at around 80 minutes and if you speak Thai I gather there is quite a bit of pro Thai-Chinese propaganda, but this shouldn't dissuade you from visiting. The attached temple and shopping experience added to the experience.

A beautiful cozy complex of Chinese houses and a tower, full of shops and also a theatre and massage parlour. The gigantic dragon museum is also worth-visiting. However, the place should grow some more trees, we would like some shades!

Wat Satue, temple in Tha Ruea, Ayutthaya on the Pasak River. Definitely worth spending a few hours to enjoy. Large reclining buddha, places to eat, weekend market. A little busy on the weekends, especially Sunday. Less crowded during the week.

Good place for making merits.

Classic Thai temple with a huge Buddha laying down. Places to eat at the location as well.

Famous temple A lot of people came by for blessing

Beautiful temple. We travel here from Saraburi quite often for tham bun. The enormous reclining Buddha is the obvious focal point of the temple and is quite something to see up close, but do take time to visit the other buildings whilst there.

Wat Satue is a Buddhist temple in the countryside not far from Ayutthaya. There is a car park outside the temple and there is a market inside the temple. Entrance to the temple is free. Parking fee: TB 30.

It's the temple i always visit frequently when i'm in Thailand. Really good admosphere and the weekend market is always very busy. Love to start a day with a "Kafee yen" at Mem's coffeebar near the riverfront.
