Wat Muang, Buddhist temple in Suan Taeng, Thailand

The Wat Muang temple complex features a colossal 92-meter-tall golden Buddha statue that rises above the surrounding farmland and countryside landscape.

The temple's reconstruction in 1982 followed its destruction during the 18th century Burmese invasion of Ayutthaya, marking a new chapter in its existence.

The temple grounds contain a collection of statues depicting Thai gods, Buddhist teachings, and significant events from the Siam-Burma War.

Visitors need to arrange transportation to reach the temple, located 8 kilometers from Ang Thong city center, and should follow dress codes covering shoulders and knees.

The temple includes a garden with graphic representations of Buddhist hell realms, illustrating traditional beliefs about consequences in the afterlife.
