Wat Intharawihan, Buddhist temple complex in Bang Khun Phrom district, Thailand.

The temple features a massive 32-meter standing Buddha statue covered in golden mosaic tiles, holding an alms bowl in its hands.

Originally named Wat Rai Phrik during the Ayutthaya period, the temple received its current name during King Vajiravudh's reign in the early 1900s.

Buddhist monks at the temple maintain daily rituals of collecting alms using the same ceremonial methods practiced for centuries in Thailand.

The temple opens daily from 8:30 AM to 8 PM without entrance fees and stands near the Rama VIII Bridge along Wisut Kasat Road.

The Buddha statue's topknot contains authentic Buddhist relics from Sri Lanka, placed there by Prince Vajiralongkorn in 1978.
