Wat Rangsit, Buddhist temple in Lak Hok, Thailand.
Wat Rangsit is a Buddhist temple in Lak Hok that houses a massive reclining Buddha statue approximately 42 meters long and 7.5 meters high within its main hall. The complex features several shrine areas and modern construction that visitors can explore at their own pace.
The temple began its development in 1947 when a religious leader brought an ancient Buddha image from the Mae Klong River area to this site. This event marked the start of the location's transformation into a significant spiritual center for the surrounding region.
The white jade statue at this location draws visitors from Mon and Burmese communities who come to offer prayers and participate in spiritual rituals that are part of their religious traditions.
The temple features escalators and modern facilities that make it easy for elderly visitors and those with limited mobility to access the main areas. You can move around the complex without difficulty and explore at a comfortable pace.
Many visitors participate in a ritual of walking through a seven-headed Naga statue, which locals believe can transform one's fortune. This tradition is a distinctive part of the temple experience that visitors from different backgrounds find meaningful.
