The highlights of this temple are the famous gold-covered statue of the Buddha, known as Phra Phuttha Chinnarat. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful and magnificent Buddha images in Thailand, with which we have to agree.

The moment you walk into the stunning symmetrical hall and look up at the bright gold-covered body of the Buddha and all the decor inside, you will realize exactly why this is one of the most renowned Buddha images in the country.

Other than the Buddha image, the Khmer-style Prang, which you can see from afar, is said to have been the place where they enshrined relics of the Buddha. There is a steep staircase where you can walk up to the top and see the scenery of the surrounding area from up there.

Behind the temple, you will also find a 9m tall standing Buddha image holding his right hand up. The Buddha image is called Phra Attharot, and you will find many old ruins of the remaining halls of the temple scattered around the statue.

The temple opens from 9 AM to 4 PM, and foreigners are asked to donate 40 THB for an entrance fee, although sometimes they do not even force you to do so. That said, it is always nice to donate a small sum that goes towards maintaining this temple.
