Wat Lai

The temple complex includes a golden Viharn surrounded by a cloister filled with statues, extending nearly thirty meters in length with decagonal pillars.

The Viharn underwent reconstruction during King Chulalongkorn's reign after destruction by fire, maintaining its architectural elements from the Ayutthaya period.

The entrance porch displays stucco reliefs depicting the last ten lives of Buddha, while inside stands a five-meter-tall Buddha image under a flame-shaped mandorla.

Located thirty kilometers northwest of Lopburi provincial capital near Singburi city, the temple coordinates at N 14°54'43 E100°27'53 enable precise navigation.

The temple houses the notable Phra Si Ari statue representing Maitreya, distinguished by its absence of the typical cranial protuberance found in historical Buddha representations.
