Wat Thaton, Buddhist temple complex in Tha Ton, Thailand
The temple extends across nine architectural levels on a hillside, offering views of the Kok River and surrounding rice fields below.
Archaeological findings reveal ancient bronze Buddha statues from 500 to 700 years ago, with inscriptions dating back to 1403 CE.
The temple functions as an educational center for monks and novices while providing assistance programs for local hill tribe communities.
The temple grounds span 425 rai and include meditation areas, restroom facilities, and designated spaces for public gatherings and ceremonies.
A glass stupa marks the temple's construction during King Rama IX's 50th throne anniversary, creating a distinctive observation point over the landscape.
