Wat Phanan Choeng Worawihan

 

This temple sits on the banks of Chao Phraya on the outskirts of the main city of Ayutthaya. The main attraction here is a seated Buddha made of stucco but covered in gold leaf. The Buddha is 57 feet tall which is very large for a seated Buddha and was constructed in 1325. It is very popular with Chinese tourist and the parking area is often crowded with tour buses.  There is no charge to enter this temple. The Buddha is very impressive. There are smaller Buddha figures around the outer walkway in the temple.  Very impressive and worth a visit.

Directions: Off of Route 3477 where the Pa Sak river feeds into the Chao Phraya.
