Wat Phra Meru

The temple complex contains multiple structures featuring traditional Thai architectural elements, including a prominent stupa and detailed stone carvings throughout the grounds.

Wat Phra Meru gained recognition as a registered Thai historic site due to its role during the Ayutthaya period and its connection to royal funerary ceremonies.

The temple maintains its position as a center for Buddhist practices where local residents participate in religious ceremonies and meditation sessions throughout the year.

Visitors need to wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees when entering the temple grounds, with separate entrance fees for Thai nationals and international tourists.

The temple's name translates to 'Temple of the Royal Crematorium,' reflecting its historical function in conducting ceremonial rites for royal family members.
