Phra Phuttha Chinnarat

5 Vietem - 3 months ago

As soon as you enter the main hall you get a sense of how holy this wat is. It may be busy but that doesn't detract from the experience of seeing Phra Phuttha Chinnarat for real. An awe-inspiring experience, enhanced by the senior dance troupe on a Sunday morning.

Absolute display of Thai Buddhism. So clean and peaceful. Icon is so huge yet so calm. Lots of tourists are always here at every time. So a bit crowded. But worth visiting.

This site holds the second most revered statue in Thai Buddhism, the Phra Budtasishinarat. A 14th century casting of three statues one of which still resides here in Phitsanulok. It's unique for it halo which looks aflame while still following the rules of Sukhothai era statues. The temple itself is a nice example of Northern Thai architecture and the main hall is decorated with stories from the life of Lord Buddha. Around the hall are statue halls, alcoves and a few very nice stupa or chedis as well as a drum and bell tower. Toilets are clean and the souvenirs surprisingly good quality and a fair price. If you are going north you should visit this temple, but remember to respect the local culture and dress modestly.

Top attraction of this town, full with tourists, hundred choices of bustiness for believer - so it's mostly annoying place to visit.

Wall painting is beautiful but bad maintain.
