Thai Buddha Temple of Kaiyuan Temple, temple in Xiangqiao, Chaozhou, Guangdong, China

The Thai Buddha Temple of Kaiyuan Temple stands on the east side of the Hanjiang Bridge in Xiangqiao District, Chaozhou. Completed on 14 February 1992, the Thai-style hall follows the design of Bangkok's Marble Temple (Wat Benchamabophit) and enshrines a Sukhothai-style Shakyamuni Buddha, known as the Phra Chinnarat. It was financed by the Chaozhou-born Thai-Chinese donor Xie Huiru.

The Thai Buddha Hall of Kaiyuan Temple was funded by Xie Huiru, a Thai-Chinese native of Chaozhou, and was completed on 14 February 1992. It stands east of the Hanjiang Bridge in Xiangqiao District, Chaozhou, Guangdong, and is a Thai-style Buddhist building rather than part of the old Kaiyuan Temple itself.

The hall is a Thai-style Buddhist building, so its name links it to Kaiyuan Temple on the west bank of the Han River, though it stands on the east side. It was funded by the Chaozhou-born Thai-Chinese donor Xie Huiru, and the Buddha image inside follows the Sukhothai style of Thailand, a form visitors can compare with Chinese images at Kaiyuan Temple.

The temple welcomes daily visitors and pilgrims to explore its different areas without needing special knowledge or experience. A visit typically takes 1 to 2 hours depending on how much time you spend in meditation spaces or viewing the historical artifacts and carvings.

The Taifo Hall houses a rare bronze Buddha statue from Thailand with wall paintings depicting Siddhartha's path to enlightenment. This blend of Thai and Chinese Buddhist tradition is uncommon in the region and reflects historical trade connections between the cultures.
