Beautiful park - pristine and well worth visiting. Be mindful that as a foreigner, you will need to pay the tourist price for entry (400 bhat). Not a big deal but worth noting. Also be mindful that there are a lot of unmarked speed bumps so keep an eye out for these. Highly recommended

The National park is very beautiful. A wide open large space with a road running all the way through it. On our visit we didn’t get to see elephants but we saw large healthy dear and monkeys carrying babies. There are amazing view points and also camping points. You can also drive right through the park to an amazing waterfall. A very worthwhile visit. 40 Bhat for local people and 300 Bhat for foreigners. Still money worth spending.

Huge national park with many interesting animals. I'd recommend to book a safari with a guide, because otherwise you might drive/walk straight past the most interesting things without even noticing. Also you are not allowed to walk into the jungle on your own, which makes sense because although beautiful it can also be dangerous. Also make sure you bring insect spray and leech protection socks. And don't forget to respect nature.

Beautiful place with lots of wildlife. Although it was a very short wildlife photography trip for me, I got some wonderful photographs of wild elephant herd, sambar deers, barking deers, and pig-tailed macaques. Definitely coming back for a longer visit next time.

It's really worth a visit. Just watch out for wildlife if you were to drive after dawn. There are so many interesting spots, day and night, to enjoy the nature. If you are not really into camping, stay on the lower areas of the park. There are many fancy hotels and houses to choose from. More importantly, it's much easier to eat with varieties of foods. Just be aware that prices may be similar to Bangkok, or some places are even priceier.

We visit the khao yai national Park yesterday I search on khao yai national Park website the entry fees for foreigners is 200 baht even on the Internet it says 200 baht but they charge us 400 baht per person we are the group of many people so it become double the price that what we expected this is very disappointed Dual pricing scam for expats 40thb for Thai 400thb for foreigners even if you have a work permit ranger staff at the entrance told us to leave if we aren't happy paying 10 times more than locals. This is the worst experience and worst attitude we faced and we didn't see much wildlife in day time At night safari we see some but it's not worth it to pay 10× extra for that

I really enjoyed our nature trip! The views were stunning, the air was fresh, and it felt so relaxing to be surrounded by nature.

It is nice to see a different type of temple in Thailand. Seeing this Hindu temple is a totally different atmosphere than the Buddhist temples. It is beautiful, but to be honest we did not spend long time here and would not visit again. Nice to see though if you are in the neighborhood.

Very few people around, and the parking area is spacious. The place is quite old, and apart from the two Ganesha statues, there’s really not much else to see.

Here you’ll see two of Thailand’s largest Ganesha statues. Both very large. The statue was a little worse for wear (need of a clean/repaint) upon my visit however nevertheless impressive! Plenty of parking space and wonderful atmosphere.

Went in and was immediately ushered to buy trinkets for 100baht and give money to the donation box before even getting to look around. Was not a peaceful experience at all. The temple had two large statues only and a set of small ones.

Double farang pricing at a temple doesn't seem fair and reasonable esp after living, working, paying Thai imcome taxes and social security in Thailand for 30 years.

Felt blessed going there.. one of the most auspicious place to pray Lord Ganesha in bangkok. If you Believe in Hindu God, Lord Shiva and Lord Ganeshji than this place is not to be missed.

I highly recommend visiting this place while en route to Khao Yai National Park in Nakhon Nayok. Ample parking space is available, and you'll find all the basis facilities here. Lord Ganesha, also known as Phra Pikanet, is present to bless you on your journey.

Place near Bangkok just less than 2 hrs drive for long tail boat riding into the Dam. About 2-2.5hrs trip without toilet and drinking water is not included Price: Shared 200 baht/person but need to wait for 10 people to join the ride. Private cost about 1500-4000baht depending on the period of the visit. Suggest to confirm the private boat ride price before starting Time to visit: Early morning at 6am or evening before 4pm to avoid the strong sunlight during the day and to enjoy the dawn&dusk moment 3Q : long walk through the greenery yard 4Q: Short walk but have to climb up the rocky way to see the waterfall

You can enjoy beautiful views of water and mountains, in case of rainy season you will see foggy clouds near by too. Its a big dam and they have free entry to this location but car parking might take time , it took me an hour to reach the point because of slow traffic on mountain

Breathtaking views and peaceful atmosphere 🌿 A beautiful and relaxing place surrounded by lush green mountains and calm water. The dam itself is massive, walking along it feels refreshing, especially after a bit of rain when the air is cool and misty. You can enjoy great panoramic views from both sides, one overlooking the reservoir, and the other facing the deep valley below. It’s also a nice spot for photos or just a peaceful walk with friends or family. There are small shops and local snacks near the entrance, and everything is clean and well maintained. Best to come early morning or late afternoon for the soft light and cooler weather. A perfect short trip from Bangkok if you love nature and quiet places! 🌄

Good view, even there’s crowded but i didn’t feel annoyed. Should take a short boat trip to go inside the dam

It just takes two hour drive from Bangkok .You can have an experience of nature, fresh air, hiking experience, and fun. I just have an experience of taking boat and I saw some other people are taking buggy around the dam as well.

After exploring this dam, my perspective shifted as I discovered its unexpected beauty and tranquility. Witnessing the controlled release of water allows you to grasp both the force of nature and the ingenuity of humanity, offering a moment for thoughtful reflection. Venturing inside, I was pleasantly surprised to find a picturesque walkway reminiscent of European settings, surrounded by an expansive body of water that occasionally resembled an endless ocean. Though we missed the opportunity to take the tour boat and explore the wilder side, it serves as a compelling reason to return for another visit. ☺️ Update: Went back again on 2 February 2024 and took the boat cruise inside the dam, totally worthy 👍 search for "boat cruise to see the dam" (on the right side of this location)

What a magnificent area in the Khao Yai district. This is a really impressive dam and is incredibly big. You can have a walk around here, or even rent a golf cart to drive around in this big area. There are a few food and tea shops here, and parking is for free. Highly recommended!

Nice setup and views. Anything else is a waste of time… even though it was low season no extra tour was offered for our group of 9 people. Also, there are just a few open wines to taste even if you‘re willing to buy large amounts. So what’s the purpose of a winery where you can taste their wines?

A Countryside Escape into the Heart of Winemaking!! I had always wondered what real wine tasting would feel like and recently, I finally got the chance to experience it at GranMonte Vineyards in Khao Yai, thanks to a friend. The excitement started the moment we arrived; the lush green vines stretched out beautifully against the backdrop of the countryside. Our guide took us through the vineyards, explaining the art of cultivation, the aging process, and the different grape varieties. I was fascinated by the farming side of it all. It struck me how much patience, dedication, and courage it takes to grow grapes and nurture a vineyard. GranMonte truly let us savor the farming experience before introducing us to the wines, which made the tasting even more meaningful. The hospitality was exceptional warm yet refined, making the whole experience feel very special. Each sip of wine carried the essence of the land, and I left with a deeper appreciation for both farming and winemaking. If you’re someone who loves the countryside, farming, or simply wants to discover the art of winemaking, GranMonte is a must visit. Just a 2.5-hour drive from Bangkok, it’s the perfect countryside escape. Thank you, GranMonte, for such a remarkable and unforgettable experience.

Did not stay there. Went there for lunch. It was a weekday afternoon. The place was very quiet. The view was very nice. My wife loved the wine. The meal was rather pricey. The food was good and service staff was very polite.

Had a great experience here! It took me a while to decide which vineyard to visit since there are quite a few in the area, but after doing some research, I found that this is one of the oldest and most reputable vineyards in Thailand. It’s also home to the country’s only certified winemaker, which made it stand out. The ticket is 590 THB for the tour and wine tasting, which is a bit on the pricey side—but you get to enjoy four glasses of wine with pairings at the end, which makes it worth it. The tour itself was excellent, led by a knowledgeable guide and the passionate owners whose stories made the place even more memorable. Personally, I think it’s definitely a place worth visiting at least once if you’re in Khao Yai!

Looking for an immersive winery and vineyard tour, plus the scenic views? I think this is a destination you should visit. Thanks to Scents of Siam Travel and Tours Thailand for including this experience in our Khao Yai Itinerary. I was surprised on the sprawling property plus the staff are prepared for the tour. Lots of knowledge you would earn after. Also, we have a wine tasting activity too!!! Unforgettable!! Love every bit there.

I didn’t stay with them but I go to visit vineyard and winery very nice service. Good place wonderful wine from Thailand if I available for sure will back again and again! 🫶🏻

I did not stay at the hotel but went for the vineyard tour hosted by the fantastic guide Kayda who shared so much interesting history. Amazing story about the owners and their two daughters for their passion and vision to bring wine-making culture to Thailand 25 years ago. The wine tasting before AND after the tour was truly out of this world. I got to taste so many wonderful glasses of red, white and sparkling. Will definitely return again during the harvest season from Dec to Feb.

Absolutely incredible experience at PB Valley! I ordered the braised beef and a calamari side, and both dishes were out of this world. The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender, rich in flavour, and perfectly balanced. The calamari was fresh, crispy, and a great complement to the meal. The restaurant is set right in a beautiful vineyard, which adds to the charm. Our group, though we didn’t drink, bought a bunch of grape juices — and they were excellent. Everyone was happy with the food, and I also tried my friend’s roasted chicken, which was delicious. The atmosphere was warm, and the service attentive and friendly. I can’t recommend this place enough — if you’re in Khao Yai, make sure PB Valley is on your list!

Very charming winery with a lovely view restaurant. Moderate prices for great food and yummy wine. Nice gift shop and can buy wine and spirits there. Locally made products. The staff is friendly and attentive. Had no time for wine tour but will be back. Easy parking. Lovely mountains with water views of vineyard.

The vineyard is a gem in the Khaoyai National Park. Beautifully landscaped with several out buildings including an excellent restaurant. We also did the wine tasting. I would definitely recommend it.

Truly a new experience. Joined their 350 baht wine tour at 09.15 am time. Got to see their vineyard, grape picking, and the production line. You can also got 3 glass of wine tasting. Very worth it !

Visited PB Valley Winery in Khao Yai last Saturday. The place has a great ambiance surrounded by beautiful greenery. As it’s off-season, there weren’t many grapes on the vines, but our guide explained everything perfectly about the vineyard and wine-making process. If you enjoy nature and a calm, peaceful environment, it’s definitely worth a visit.

We have afternoon meal at restaurant, atmosphere & food are excellence. Very good thing is that it has no break between lunch and dinner.

We missed the last tour but had a lovely time dining on the restaurant. All food tasted great! Ambience is perfect. We had a lovely time. Don’t miss out on their fresh grape juice too! 🍇

An Absolutely Unforgettable Farm Experience – We’re Already Dreaming of Our Next Visit! WE MISS THOSE ADORABLE, FLUFFY SHEEP SO MUCH! 🐑💕 Khao Yai has many farms, but this one is SPECIAL – where else can you actually STEP INSIDE a sheep barn and have dozens of eager, woolly friends munching right from your hands?! The joy is absolutely contagious! Here’s how to MAXIMIZE THE FUN (driver tips included!): ✨ **Start at the museum** (2 floors of quirky farm history – way more interesting than it sounds!) ✨ Speed through the "12 zodiac animals" – save your snacks because the REAL excitement comes later! ✨ SHEEP FEEDING TIME!** 🎉 Your driver can take you straight to the sheep & flower farm – prepare for sheer delight as soft noses nuzzle your palms! (Pro tip: Hold the food high unless you want an overeager sheep attempting a cuddle!) ✨ Bunny paradise awaits! The rabbit feeding area is MAGICAL – they’ll hop right up to you, twitching noses and all! ✨ Don’t miss cow milking – it’s hilariously hands-on and perfect for photos! This isn’t just for kids – we adults were squealing with joy the entire time!** Between the flower fields, giggling at greedy goats, and being mobbed by sweet sheep, this farm delivers PURE HAPPINESS. 10/10 would feed sheep again – see you soon, fluffy friends! 🌈🐇🐄 🐑

Tickets are 120฿ per person — drive your own car in and explore 4 main spots between 1:30–3:30 PM. • Stop 1 is mainly for feeding animals (not photo-friendly and requires extra fee). • Stop 2 is a stunning flower field with wide open skies and constant cool breeze — perfect for photos (but bring a hat, it’s sunny!). • Stop 3 is where you can feed adorable animals. A basket of treats (milk bottles, veggies, etc.) costs 140฿ and is more than enough. After that, cool down with their 99฿ coconut ice cream cone (topped with beans!) — super refreshing, but melts fast in the wind. • There are also 4 daily buffalo shows — free to watch, though it gets crowded and hard to snap a clear pic.

The farm has four exploration points. First, you get to explore a big field and interact with the sheep. You can also feed them. Second, you explore a field of colorful flowers. Third, you can milk cows, interact with rabbits, sheep, and geese, and play fun mini-games. You can also rent a bike to go around. Fourth, it is a museum where you can learn about cowboy culture and the Thai forest. Their ice cream is delicious. It has a soft gelato-like consistency and not-too-sweet flavors.

First time to Pak Chong and Farm Chok Chai was a highlight and my family loved it very much!! Huge Sunflower farm and feeding animals were nice and really made us come close to nature! Special indeed.

One of the historic farm in Thailand. We have visited this place during our journey back to Bangkok. With just 120 Baht per person we drove thru the farm by our car. We also ordered a "recommended" hamburger menu that in my idea was a bit overpriced (410 Baht) taken into account the quality and quantity compared to what usually we get in Europe.

Visited in December 2024 for a family trip. It is a very big farm. Paid for entrance to drive in with our driver. The drive is just a small loop. Went in the afternoon as my driver said that's the time he could bring us there. Totally wrong. I suggest you go in the early morning. No cowboy show during my visit. Just some sheep and cows. They will display 2 dairy cows for you to try milking but you need to pay. So be prepared to pay at every station. I can't even go around the farm on their tractor because they claimed my ticket was not included. I wasn't even sure what was included in my ticket as I can't speak or understand Thai. I just paid what I was told and went for it. I spent only 30 minutes there and I left. A total waste of time. It only looks fantastic on advertisements but the real thing doesn't match up at all. There are better ones.

I’ve been coming to this place for many years. Chokchai burgers are fresh & juicy, the meat is delicious, recently I’m skipping the buns. The staff in the little booth is always very friendly and helpful. I’m looking forward to my next stopover

What's Good? Great view at the cafe on top with cool air during December. Not your typical theme park, but still packed with fun. Super spacious. Recommend to bring poncho along. Go for the 599 per person package. 3 hours, just nice. What's to improve? Ice-cream and drinks exchange with free token are available in the upper region only, not at entrance. More maintenance needed.

As an adult, it was a lovely afternoon and a wonderful experience. As a foreigner, the price of an MVP pass was a bit too high for what was on offer, in my opinion. Most of the things are geared more towards a younger audience. You can easily see everything in four hours. It's definitely worth a visit.

Good fun, but expensive (like you’d expect from a theme park). We went for the rainbow road luge which was a great laugh but over in a minute… 399Baht per person for a single activity, shuttle car-train to the top section of the park and a drink.

This place was is such a beautiful view and good place to travel with family! If you have children, im sure it would be very nice since they have bicycle and swimming pool! I recommend this place is best place to travel and have memories with your family, friends and relatives! I love this place!! ❤️

I had a very bad experience. If you're a foreigner you'll have absolutely no information since everything is written only in Thai. And most of the staff are not very friendly and difficult to get information. I speak Thai but still struggle because I can't read Thai. The staff weren't so helpful. Later I understand the entry plans are all joke and couldn't even play anything without paying 200 each ride. I chose 599 and my wife picked 399 and both are almost the same. Not worthy for what you the pay...

The overall experience was wonderful and I really had a good time trying out the adventure activities. They have different price range to go experience different activities.

Adventure activities are mostly for family and children... Good place for visit ✅️

Good Place for Tourist who are interested in Historic Places, Be aware that a lot of Repairs and renovation work done to the original Palace and Building Need to walk in Hot sunlight, Electric Buggy is available on Rent @500 for 1st Hour and 150 for the next per hour on self Drive. It's a Huge property of more then 40 Acres. Can skip if not Interested in walking.

A charming and serene palace that is well maintained and clean. Visitors need to take note to dress respectfully and modestly, covering up the knees as well as the shoulders. There are buildings and architecture of different styles and from varied cultures so it can come across as a little fragmented in a sense. There are quite a few lovely landmarks in the palace and it is definitely worth a visit and your time. We even managed to have some time near the end to explore a museum full of artifacts and relics belonging to Siam's history and culture.

The restrooms are spotless, and since it’s a public facility, there’s no entrance fee — unlike many other tourist spots. There’s even a changing room where I could switch from shorts to long pants. I visited on a rainy day, and the staff were incredibly kind and attentive. They offered umbrellas during the downpour and even brought out a chair while I waited for a taxi — such thoughtful service! I also got to see the changing of the guards. You’ll need a car to get here, but it’s definitely worth the visit. I came from Ayutthaya using Grab, and the fare was very reasonable.

I love the serene atmosphere away from the city, the combination of Thai and European designs, and the opportunity to take leisurely strolls or explore by golf cart. The lake is a bonus. We were able to witness kids inside the temple I guess there was some sort of field trip. There is a dress code but we truly understand and respect it.

Bang Pa-In Royal Palace (พระราชวังบางปะอิน, the Summer Palace) is a riverside complex once used by Thai kings, located in the Bang Pa-In District along the Chao Phraya River. Well-maintained and peaceful, it felt almost private when we visited—early afternoon on a Wednesday, our tour group seemed to be the only ones there. Whenever I hear “summer palace,” my mind first goes to Beijing’s storied 颐和园 (Yiheyuan) in Haidian District, where I learned to swim as a child. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1998, Yiheyuan is famous for its hills, vast lake, marble boat, and Long Corridor. Inevitably, I compare every summer palace I visit to Yiheyuan. No disrespect intended, but in contrast, this Thai palace feels almost like a charming miniature playhouse. The Bang Pa-In palace was originally built by King Prasat Thong (1599–1655) in 1632, later fell into neglect, and was restored in the mid-19th century by King Mongkut (1804–1868). Many of the buildings standing today were constructed between 1872 and 1889 under King Chulalongkorn (1858–1913).

Beautiful palace , well kept and maintained. Mixing between east and west culture. Many buildings , compound . Now using some of the buildings as museum. Recommend a visit once in Ayudhya

The place that reflects modernization of Siamese Society and Culture. This is the place where traditional Siamese architecture plays minor roles. The palace just finished a long-time renovation and the place resumes its charms. Great place to experience history, stroll peacefully, and admire the evolution of the country.

A well-known temple for praying for children and fertility. Many people visit to worship, and those who’ve had their prayers answered come back to offer toys and children’s clothes in gratitude. It’s lively and full of energy — one of the most charming temples in Ayutthaya.

Founded in 1357, this is an active temple with resident Buddhist monks. There is a large white reclining Buddha in the temple. Many Buddhists come to pay respects at this historic site. Visitors can climb up a flight of stairs into the main temple complex where they can pray for good fortune by dropping a coin into the wishing well. The bell shaped chedi is the main attraction in this beautiful ancient temple.

This place is very beautiful. The pagoda is very big. It is an old temple. There is a big reclining Buddha and a small reclining Buddha. It is charming, shady, and peaceful. Many people come here. There is a lot of parking. There are many restaurants outside the temple. I like this place.

Beautiful and peaceful temple with great historical value. The big reclining Buddha and the main chedi are very impressive. The place is clean, well maintained, and perfect for photos. A must-visit when in Ayutthaya!

Spectacular. The Buddhas guarding the main temple are truly impressive, as are the many others surrounding the principal tower. It’s definitely worth climbing to the top to appreciate the entire complex from above.

20 Baht foreigner entrance fee there is a ATM next to the ticket booth in case you need cash Thai national free entry Great temple worth it easily spend 1 hour here

Need to purchase tickets to enter. It’s 20 baht per adult. Went on a weekday afternoon. Place is peaceful and quiet.

This place is full of history and has such a relaxing atmosphere. Walking around the ruins feels like stepping back in time, with every corner showing something interesting. The Buddha head in the tree roots is very unique and even more impressive in real life than in photos. It’s a beautiful spot to take pictures, learn about the past, and just enjoy some quiet moments away from the busy city. Definitely worth a visit.

One of the most famous temples in Ayutthaya, renowned for the most photographed Buddha head encased within the tree roots. Legend has it that a thief had intended to sell the Buddha head but was either forced to abandon it at the spot or the head was too heavy for him to carry further away, and so he had to leave it there. Over time, tree roots began to envelop the Buddha's head, and hence, this peculiar and unique landmark was formed. One can pray to the Buddha Head, but you must kneel and remove your shoes to show your respect.

A must visit in Ayutthaya City. It costs 80 baht for foreigners and 10 baht for Thai people to enter. The main attraction is the Busddha in the tree, but there are plenty of chedi, prang and other Buddha statues about. Talk a walk around Thai history and enjoy.

Nice ruins with some monks here. 80 bht entry for tourists, most ppl come to see the head in the tree. Cannot climb main large building as you can in the ruins next door.

We visited Wat Mahathat as part of a group tour to the ancient city of Ayutthaya. It is a fantastic place that is full of history. It was the capital prior to Bangkok but was completely burned down by an invasion in 1767. This place just oozes history and it is a great day trip on a visit to Bangkok. It's about an hour or hour and a half by car or there are many daily trains from Bangkok that take one hour and are very cheap. This is also where you can see the buddha head that has been surrounded by the roots of the sacred banyan tree. You should definitely try to make the time if you're in the area. There are a number of other sites only five to ten minutes away also.

Beautiful place to visit. The Buddha head entwined in the roots of the tree is a must-see and truly a unique sight. Take your time to walk around the grounds, the peaceful atmosphere makes it worth exploring.

The remnants of the Ayutthya Kingdom. The Ayutthya Kingdom was one of the most thriving dynasties of South east asia before it was attacked by the Burmese Konboung dynasty. Wat Mahathat is one such remnant of the Ayutthya dynasty. The entry ticket is 50 baht for non thai national and dress code mandates covered shoulder and knees. There are a few gifts shops right beside the ticket counter where one can rent a scarf or trousers. The place is spotless clean and serene. One can feel the calmness and peace in the air. The place definitely lives upto the hype and is a must visit spot in Ayutthya. The Buddha head in the tree is the top attraction here. But the crowd here is well managed and everyone gets a chance to take a pic. Do carry umbrella and water while visiting. Late afternoon is the best time yo visit

What a truly remarkable historical site. The temple ruins are incredibly awe-inspiring and evoke a deep sense of wonder. It feels like the perfect place to capture beautiful memories and photos. Visiting here is both uplifting and soothing to the spirit. The sunlight and the boiling hot weather in the middle of the day might be the only downside of this exễprience but they also give you an umbrella to make up for that

Amazeballs! Simply stunning, by far best cultural landmark I have visited in TH! It might may not have the grandeur of a golden temple or palace, but has it respectfully place of significance in Thai and human history.

Beautiful ruins of an ancient temple in Ayutthaya. Easy day trip from Bangkok by train or private car. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Entrance fee can be combined with the other temples for 300 Baht all together. Most of the smaller temples are free to enter.

Overall, I do enjoy everything in Ayutthaya.But just hope there are more explanations and not just a place for taking instragammable pictures. Hopefully, the authorities can make it more educational with better quality explanations. Otherwise, history will be forgotten for such an amazing place.

Part of Ayutthaya Historical Park, this ruined, wrenchingly beautiful Buddhist temple is an unseo site, with a central 115 feet prang, four smaller prangs, and eight Chedi-shaped chapels, on a rectangular platform. Some dos and don'ts: Taboos: food drink smoking climbing scratching sitting bottle of water is allowed tho. Outfit taboos: strapless tank top wide neck crop top shorts, low waist pants miniskirt No, you don't need to take your shoes off. This Temple was built in 1630 by Siam's King, Prasat Thong (1599-1655), as a memorial to his mother's residence. It was his first Temple during his reign. The name meant Temple of long reign and glorious era. Located on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, outside Ayutthaya island, this site a major tourist attraction. Many young women (perhaps locals?) rent the traditional outfits from many shops across the street, and use the park as a background for photos. Many of our tour mates squeezed in for a show, and they politely welcomed/tolerated us.

Large ruins , 80 bht entry for tourists. Many shops here if u want to dress traditional thai and have your pic taken professionally. Having work done at entrance so scaffolding covered a main part (check photo)

Casual visit, nice historical place to visit. Scorching hot sun, wear sun block. Chao phraya river was over flow during my visit caused many place to be flooded.

A beautiful place for sure!! Be aware foreigners do pay way more than natives. 10 baht for Thai and 80 baht for foreigners. Also some of the parts you WILL need to dress for temple attire so no shorts and tank top. We went on a very hot and humid mid day so bringing drinks is very important. They do have umbrellas you can take to protect yourself from the sun. For the one with the very big tower (first picture) you WILL need an umbrella as there are barely any trees. Don't mind the stray dogs walking around there either.

Great place to go; a must-see place. Take a taxi or any organized trip to this place. We took an organized trip and enjoyed it pretty much. Take an umbrella with you; the sun is burning so much!

Wat Phra Si Sanphet houses the three majestic Chedis each of which houses the remains of three Kings of Ayutthya. During the Burmese invasion 2 of 3 chedis were completely destroyed. However they were restored much later. The entry tickets are 50 bahts for foreigners and they offer umbrellas for free at the gate. This is located on the royal grounds of the Ayutthya Kingdom and the construction of the temple started as early as 1365 AD. The ground is huge and takes more than half an hour to explore. The grounds, the gardens are well kept by the staff. Visit early morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the harsh sun.

Reputed to be the most ancient temple in Ayutthaya, Wat Phra Si Sanphet was built in 1351, and the area served as a royal palace. Wat Phra Si Sanphet was once the most sacred temple on the site of the old Royal Palace. The temple and palace ground ruins later served as a model for Wat Phra Kaew in the present-day capital of Bangkok. It is most well known for its three majestic, towering chedis.

One of my favourites temple. You need to come and experience yourself. But I do hope for all the things in Ayutthaya. There could be more explanation of the history sites rather than just the buildings and artifacts. Hard to appreciate with depths.

Exploring Wat Phra Si Sanphet was one of the most meaningful moments during my time in Ayutthaya. Standing among the ruins of what used to be the most sacred royal temple in the ancient capital, I was humbled by its history and beauty. The three towering chedis—majestic and solemn—seemed to guard centuries of stories. What made this temple different from the others was its exclusivity. It wasn’t open to monks, only for royal use. Knowing that this was once the spiritual heart of the Ayutthaya Kingdom made the experience feel even more special. The place felt quiet, reverent—despite other visitors being around, there was a respectful hush in the air. I was particularly struck by the story of the massive 16-meter Buddha statue once housed here, which was covered in gold before being destroyed during the Burmese invasion. Even in ruins, you could still feel the sacred energy that once filled this space. The best part was just slowing down and sitting on one of the steps, watching the sun hit the chedis at just the right angle. It wasn’t just a photo opportunity—it was a moment of reflection. If you plan to visit, go early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid the heat and crowds. Dress modestly—it’s a sacred site after all. This visit reminded me that history isn’t just about buildings or dates. Sometimes, it’s about a quiet walk through a centuries-old temple, feeling the past gently echo around you.

We visited Wat Phra Si Sanphet, which is known for its three impressive chedis. The sun was strong, but they offered free umbrellas, which allowed us to take our time and explore comfortably.

I just went there with my friends last week. I got to see goats and hold them. I bought them food and milk. They ran after me and my friends. They were so cute. There were both adult goats and baby goats. I really liked it there. I want to go there again with my family.

Big reservior with wonderful Sightseeing view. Good atmosphere. Some people come and do exercise also.

The dam is very beautiful to look at. It is a good place to spend time with the family. At the same time, a tractor ride is being taken around the entire dam. Especially the tractor ride is very popular with children they enjoying it. Through this we can see whole dam. There are many shops inside, so food and drinking water are not a problem.

When we went the water level was pretty low for monsoon season. It has a nice little park. Lots of locals cycling, running and picnicking. Fun for the quick check in photo but not much to actually see.

A large Dam near Bangkok makes it easy to plan a one day trip. There is an aquarium nearby with many fresh water fishes. For sight seeing, there is a trolley line along the da ridge. 30 baht for adults and 10 for kids. There is also a train rail at the water level when the dam is full capacity, up north about 20 minutes that's the place you must visit for a picture.

A good spot for a quick stop while visiting Lopburi, but not quite enough to be a main attraction on its own.

Nice view but it's quite hot here. The main road to the dam will be restricted for private vehicles until 4 PM. During day time, if you want to go inside this place, you need to buy ticket for the tourist tram. The train will go along this dam only 2 time per day, so if you want see this moment (same like many beautiful photos on Google), you should check the time carefully.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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 🙄

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.
