Wat Mahathat Worawihan, also known as Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat or Wat Na Phra That, stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Ratchaburi, Thailand. Situated on Khao Ngu Road in the Na Mueang Subdistrict of Ratchaburi city, this ancient temple holds a prominent place on the west side of the Mae Klong River. Believed to have been originally constructed during the Dvaravati period, around the 15th and 16th centuries, it flourished during the reign of King Jayavarman VII of Khmer. Evidence of Khmer artistry can be seen in the castle built during this period, which served as the city’s center according to Khmer beliefs. However, subsequent collapses led to the construction of a new prang in the early Ayutthaya period, around the 20th and 21st Buddhist centuries. Today, Wat Mahathat Worawihan boasts a royal hall housing the Phra Mongkol Buri, a stucco Buddha image dating back to the early Ayutthaya period. The image, with its distinctive Sukhothai face and short legs, is revered for its artistic significance. Another notable feature is a Buddha image facing west, symbolizing protection against future disasters, in accordance with Ayutthaya beliefs. The temple’s main prang, made of laterite and standing 12 wa high, is adorned with murals depicting religious and historical scenes. Additionally, Wat Mahathat Worawihan serves as a repository for relics of the Buddha, housed within structures such as the Viharn Rai, vow water stand, glass wall, and mandapa. With its rich history, architectural marvels, and spiritual significance, Wat Mahathat Worawihan remains a cherished destination for locals and visitors alike, offering a glimpse into Thailand’s cultural heritage and religious traditions.

A nice example of traditional architecture, the place reflects the Ayutthaya periods, the restaured temple and the main wall is curious. Free entry and bathroom available, respect the silence in the Holi place thanks.

Such a wonderful place.. the weather was great and it was not too busy. The buildings look spectacular…. This place is slightly different than the ones in Ayuthhaya. It’s still an up and running temple and many Thais are here to do their Buddhism rituals and traditions. Must visit it you come to Ratchaburi. It’s right in the middle of City Center and very near Big C mall where you can grab a van to Bangkok easily
Bo W — Google review
Truly amazing ancient temple dating back to the Dvaravati period, some 1100 years ago. The current Phrangs were built on over the original temple and are of clearly Khmer architecture.
Peter Z — Google review
This place could be dated back since Khmer Empire. The front gate in stone is a replica of the ancient Khmer work. There are plenty of the things to visit here. From different generation Khmer - Dvaravati - Sukhothai and Ayuthaya in one place. It is a bit messy but still a nice place to discover.

Beautiful spot to enjoy nature. Used to be a place they collected cement, that’s what i was told. By the entrance there are toilets and cafe, can buy smoothies, coffee, ice cream. Sitting area with many tables chairs and fans. Free entrance.
Dasha K — Google review
I only wanted to have a quick look at the park since I was driving by. At first glance, it looked amazingly beautiful and interesting. Car park is a large paved and lined space, enough for large number of cars and buses. The park is a step lower than the park entrance gates. Noticed the park is also accessible by vehicles, but the gates were shut. Entrance is free and the place was very busy with tourists, both locals and few foreigners. Amazing scenery and a great place for family fun. Coffee shop and other stalls offer you with refreshments and souvenirs. Lovely place for photo shoot, relaxing, exercising, or just to enjoy the scenery.

Stunning spot to go that is near ti Bangkok. Good for family and friends winding. Free entrance. You can go sight-seeing around the rocky mountain for 60-baht fare tourist vehicle. Car Parking is not a problem, it's wide

It's a neat little park in Ratchaburi, I found it very relaxing and a nice change to the city sites you are seeing here a lot. It is a lake with some hills around it, some apes are around and also some birds. You can get food and drinks nearby and make some pretty pictures here. When I was here the place was not crowded, but there were some families visiting. The park is for free.

An interesting place, relatively close to Bangkok. Mountains, a lake, monkeys—what else do you need for happiness? Arrived here at 7 a.m., it was deserted. But you can already buy a portion of monkey food for 20 baht (corn).

An exotic collection of ceramics artfully arranged in a garden around the original family home, now a coffee and drinks shop. The passion fruit soda was delightful as well as a new menu offering of a hot, crispy bun stuffed with delicious Thai style chicken topped with lots of cheese. Excellent food and absolutely unique experience. Don’t miss it!

What a strange place. Our family member took us here and said it would be different and fun. She was right about different! So much pottery here, it sprawled out in every direction into the trees. Everywhere you looked was filled with pottery. It makes for song fun photoshoots if you're into that. Entry is free. There's also a small coffee shop and gift shop. If you have kids they hold many workshops but I would call ahead of time
Kevin K — Google review
I went there on Monday morning. The place wasn't that ready for tourists. The coffee shop wasn't ready yet as the barista had to work on the factory's ledger. One good thing is that you can walk around the place without being stopped by anyone. The staff seem to be familiar with the tourists. The factory posts detours around the place to guide your tour route. The ceramics are really amazing. If you have a pick up truck you will want to carry some of them home :) The scene is wonderful for photo shooting.
Pruksapan B — Google review
Interesting place to visit if you are interested in ceramic pottery they gave literally hundreds of different pots and animals. Their signature is the dog with holes in which looks a bit like a spotted dog. They have a small cafe on site with coffee and flower tea available. Unfortunately nothing available to eat, no cake. The owner has a collection of motorcycles, including a Triumph Rocket 3 and an old customised Harley which looks like about 1940s vintage.

An excellent introduction to the city and province with exhibits on geology, prehistory, development, and culture. Exhibits are well captioned in English as well as Thai. The attractive 1922 former city hall wraps around a courtyard. You can also visit folk exhibits in a shed next door and check out contemporary art on the front lawn. Foreigner admission was 100 baht. The museum is across from the riverfront, a good place for a stroll.

Great historical museum that house the artifacts of the prehistoric age. Came here on New year eve which is free for everyone. For those driving, have to park outside the museum.

The museum is situated in a historic building that is very charming by itself. The exhibition is not big, but covering many interesting topics that you might not know before about Ratchaburi. Come here to learn the history of the province and you will have more background about the history of each places you go next.

This is one of the landmarks in Ratchaburi. The royal monastery temple was build in Ayutthaya era. The Image of Buddha, or locals call Khaen Chan father was believed floating on the river from Kanchanaburi. They say the base that made from sandalwood still has faint scent until this day. Good thing about this temple is it's convenient to come and to make a merit as there are the temple staff and a monk to help you from morning to evening. Unlike other temples in this province where everybody's gone and empty in late afternoon.

This is probably the best gym in Ratchaburi town, very spacious plenty of equipment for strength training and cardio. A little outside the town at the Ratchaburi FC stadium but plenty of free parking. The fees are reasonable for the area and they offer various classes (mainly in the evenings) The only draw back with gym which prevents me from using it at the moment is the poor opening times, they don’t open until 11am

(Translated by Google) The place is spacious and comfortable, located inside the Mitr Phol Stadium building. You must drive into the back of the stadium. You will find the fitness room. Behind the stadium The interior space is wider than other places. Within Ratchaburi city The equipment is complete, including machines, free weights, dumbbells, switches, etc. The placement of playing equipment There is a good distance. Not too close Makes you not uncomfortable while playing There is one large class room, a fly yoga room and a cycling room. There are also lockers and a sauna for use. Although not as spectacular as in Bangkok But it's considered okay... Weighing scale used by Tanita, can measure in detail and can print results as well. In Ratchaburi, there should be only one place that has this machine available. About this time. (Original) สถานที่กว้างขวาง สะดวกสบาย ตั้งอยู่ภายในอาคารสนามกีฬามิตรผล ต้องขับรถเข้ามาด้านหลังของสนามกีฬา จะพบกับตัวห้องฟิตเนส อยู่ด้านหลังสนามกีฬา พื้นที่ภายในกว้างกว่าที่อื่นๆ ภายในตัวเมืองราชบุรี อุปกรณ์เวทจัดว่าครบ ทั้งแมชชีน ฟรีเวท ดรัมเบล สมิทช์ ฯลฯ การจัดวางอุปกรณ์การเล่น มีระยะห่างกำลังดี ไม่ชิดจนเกินไปนัก ทำให้ไม่อึดอัดขณะเล่น มีห้องคลาสขนาดใหญ่ 1 ห้อง ห้อง fly yoga และ ห้องปั่นจักรยาน นอกจากนี้ยังมี locker และ ห้องซาวน่าให้ใช้ด้วย แม้จะไม่อลังการเท่าในกรุงเทพ แต่ก็ถือว่าโอเคทีเดียว... เครื่องชั่งน้ำหนัก ใช้ ของ tanita วัดแบบละเอียดและพิมพ์ผลได้ด้วย ในราชบุรี น่าจะมีที่นี่ที่เดียวที่มีเครื่องนี้ไว้บริการนะ ประมาณนี้ละครับ
