  • 5/5 Chawin O. 3 years ago on Google
    Incessantly and faithfully, this temple has continued to remain one of the most significant among others in Thailand where the magnificent Phra Phuttha Chinnarat has long-enshrined. Crowded as expected, but not too chaotic thanks to the efficient management team. Once I stepped in the sacred chapel, the sober serenity surged in with no preceding signs. In a sudden, I became blissful and unburdened. Wish I’d have more time to linger around here for more sacred experiences.

    It’s post COVID, so the tourists and locals are not too many. There isn’t a huge crowd and access is easy, a bare 20-30 mins walk from Phitsanulok Railway Station. Worth a visit 👍🏻

    Its a must spot to visited if you are in Phitsanulok. Well-managed the parking lot can be a little bit tricky but i was fortunate enough to visited in the less crowded time.

    Second most visited temple in Thailand, a must visit when going to Thailand.

    Very beautiful temple complex. I didn't get to see inside the temple because it was closed the day that I went there. But that didn't matter because there is just so much to see and the grounds are so well kept. With the ancient ruins so well preserved. I can't wait till November when I go back again. Hopefully I will get to see inside this time. I highly recommend to others to get the out of the popular tourist destinations and come visit some of these places. I just traveled solo to 12 provinces in Thailand and Phitsanulok would definitely have to be one of favourite provinces and one of the most underrated provinces I've been to so far

    I think they have 2 names for the temple..Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat Woramahawihan and Phra Phuttha Chinnarat

    Large Buddhist temple complex with a stunning and famed gold Buddha statue. The entrance was free, and there were also several food stalls around on the outside of the complex. Make sure to pay a visit to the large lady statue in the garden section as well. :)

    Important temple and full with the historical detail. Every single item named with the meaning that made us heartly pround of the story. The big buddha is really beatiful, calm and kind that help us feeling relief while we concentrate and stop thinking anything. The location is on the bank of Nan River where is importat and nurich for the population in this part of Thailand. Also sit in the central of area that you will never get lost if you drive or walk. Warn the female visitors to not wear the shorts or shorter skirt otherwise you will not be allowed to get into the sanctuary to pay respect to the buddist sacre coeur there regarding the strict ancient culture. The tiny metal statue of elephant put aside of the big buddha in the sactuary for fortelling your wish by lifting up that elephant statue... Believe it or not, up to you! Many ancience heads, laps and stone bodies of buddha in the store show area that look really scary! There is the tourism tram for city tour in this temple as well.

    If you come to Phitsanulok, you have to come visit this temple. There is no entrance fee for this magnificent temple. As a mark of respect, remember not to stand up in the main prayer hall while you are taking pictures.

    A must visit Buddhist​ temple​ in​ Thailand, one of the most beautiful​ and one of the most popular​ Buddha statues​ in Thailand. Definitely​ worth​ the visit. There is free car park and while you are here you can visit another​ old temple​ across​ the road. I try to stop​ by and pay respect​ whenever i can. But beware of the opening​ hour​s, i have been there​ just after the closing​ time. Hope you​ would like​ it too. Although​ it is a busy place but find a cool spot and meditate. Just be there relax

    A historical part of Phistanulok situated close to the city centre with plenty to see and do. Ample parking and with most attractions within walking distance of each other, there are many vendor's supplying food and soft drinks to tourists which lessens the need go searching further afield for sustenance. A tram is available that will take tourists around the historic sites stopping at various locations such as the temple and kings palace. Altogether well worth a visit.

    The most given elegant, respectness of this province and Thai people for many years. Very nice buddha statue with golden color.

  • 4/5 Just In C. 1 year ago on Google
    I've never seen a Buddha in a coffin before. Apparently that is very rare. And slightly comical. This is the largest temple complex in town and probably the busiest too. It's worth checking out in the morning or evening.

    Nice temple close to the river. The market close to the temple is a good place to buy souvenirs and food

    Good to pay a visit at this beautiful Buddha Chinnarat - 12 Nov 2022

  • 5/5 Phil H. 3 years ago on Google
    The main Buddha image here is known as the Pra Buddha Chinnarat statue, and is considered to be one of the most beautiful in Thailand. Consequently, lots of pilgrims visit here. The temple also has a Khmer style prang (hollow tower), which is quite unusual in this part of the country.

  • 5/5 Camila Belén L. 3 years ago on Google
    It's definitely one of the most beautiful and biggest temples in the city. There's no entrance fee for foreigners. It's free just like for thai people. A must see. Also go around a little bit. There's some ruins and a huge Buddha in a beautiful garden.

    Beautiful, grandeur and reverred Buddhist temple complex with impressive main hall decoration.

  • 5/5 Jimmy H. 1 year ago on Google
    Famous temple in North of thailand and one of the most sacred, some parts of the temple dates back to the sukothai era and is very old, definitely worth a visit if your in the area 🙏

  • 4/5 So L. 2 years ago on Google
    Most renowned temple in Phitsanulok. You must not miss this! Same as other Thai temples in general, don’t wear skirts or revealing clothing or you cannot enter.
