Wat Aranyik

Wat Aranyik stands in Phitsanulok province, featuring traditional Buddhist architectural elements with brick structures and carefully designed temple grounds.

The temple resides in Mueang Phitsanulok, which gained prominence during the Ayutthaya kingdom and maintained its significance until the kingdom's fall in 1767.

The temple forms part of a network of 83 active Buddhist temples in Mueang Phitsanulok, where 95 percent of residents practice Buddhism.

Located between the Nan Basin and Yom Basin, the temple grounds include water storage systems through ditches that help maintain water supply in dry seasons.

The temple's ordination hall maintains smaller dimensions and sits outside the principal chedi's axis, following specific architectural patterns from the region.
