Wat Phra Mahathat, Buddhist temple in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand
The temple compound features a 78-meter-tall central stupa surrounded by 173 smaller stupas and four directional assembly halls for Buddhist ceremonies.
Founded during the 13th century, the temple gained prominence as a significant center of Theravada Buddhism under the patronage of the Nakhon Si Thammarat Kingdom.
The temple maintains an extensive collection of Buddha images and hosts regular ceremonies where monks and local devotees gather for traditional chanting and meditation.
Visitors can access the temple daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages through the temple's information center.
The central stupa contains a relic chamber believed to house a tooth of Buddha, making it one of the most important religious sites in southern Thailand.
