Wat Sao Thong Thong

The temple complex contains a restored Viharn with a large Buddha statue named Luang Po To and multiple sandstone statues in Khmer style.

During King Narai's reign in the 17th century, the temple accommodated Persian ambassadors, demonstrating Thailand's diplomatic relations with foreign nations.

The temple maintains its role as a center for Buddhist ceremonies, hosting regular religious gatherings and meditation sessions for local practitioners.

Visitors need to wear long pants and sleeved shirts to enter the temple grounds, and removing shoes is required before entering sacred buildings.

The temple includes a structure called Khotchasan, named after an ancient Iranian region, reflecting the intersection of Thai and Persian cultural elements.
