Wat Yai Suwannaram

The main shrine hall of Wat Yai Suwannaram contains a collection of detailed wooden carvings and ancient murals depicting mythological scenes and angels.

The temple, constructed in the 17th century during Thailand's cultural renaissance, underwent substantial renovations during King Rama V's reign in the late 1800s.

The walls of the temple feature five rows of painted angels, with the central figure showing an angel in the position of subduing Mara.

Visitors can reach the temple by walking or cycling from central Phetchaburi, and must remove their shoes before entering any of the buildings.

The temple's wooden pavilion, Sala Kanparian, was originally King Suea's residence in Ayutthaya before being relocated to honor Supreme Patriarch Taeng-mo.
