Wat Nong Yai

Wat Nong Yai is a Buddhist temple in Sai Mai featuring traditional Thai architecture with ornate details and multiple prayer halls arranged across its grounds. The site includes various structures dedicated to worship and daily religious practice.

The temple was established as a center for Buddhist worship in this area. Its name recalls the wetland landscape that once characterized this place.

The name means 'large swamp' in reference to the wetlands that once covered this area. Today residents use the grounds for daily worship and personal prayer throughout the day.

The temple is accessible by public transportation from Bangkok and opens from sunrise to sunset daily. Wear respectful clothing and plan to walk through the grounds as you explore different areas.

The grounds contain several meditation gardens where residents regularly gather. These quiet spaces serve both group chanting sessions and personal reflection time.
