Wat Phra Phutthachai, Buddhist temple in Nong Pla Lai, Thailand.

The temple contains multiple buildings along a hillside, featuring a large reclining Buddha statue and several smaller shrines throughout the complex.

The monastery's discovery dates to the Ayutthaya period during King Songtham's reign in the 17th century, when a projection of Buddha was found.

The temple maintains its role as a meditation center where Buddhist practitioners participate in daily chanting sessions and offer alms to resident monks.

Visitors can reach the temple's upper sections either by climbing the main staircase or taking an alternative road that leads to a second set of stairs.

Ancient cave paintings estimated to be three thousand years old remain preserved on the cliff walls near the temple structures.
