Wat Sai Yai, Buddhist temple in Sai Noi, Thailand.

The temple features two chapels, including a teak structure and a newer building completed in 2016, located near the Khlong Phra Pimon Racha canal.

Founded in 1867 during King Mongkut's reign, the temple changed its name from Wat Maharnichortahram to Wat Sai Yai in 1955 for easier pronunciation.

The older chapel contains murals depicting the ten last jatakas of Buddha, sacred relics, and an iron elephant used for predictions.

The temple complex includes a primary school and connects to the Sainoi floating market, which opened in 2002 selling local agricultural products.

Beneath the chapel, visitors can access an underground area through a dedicated staircase, adding an unusual architectural element to this religious structure.
