Wat Phra Thong

The temple complex features a partially buried golden Buddha statue, surrounded by various smaller shrines and traditional Thai architectural elements with detailed decorations.

Dating back several centuries, the temple gained recognition when a farmer discovered the golden Buddha statue while plowing his fields, leading to numerous attempts to unearth it.

The temple maintains its role as a center for Buddhist practices, with regular ceremonies and rituals performed by monks and local community members throughout the year.

Visitors need to wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees when entering the temple grounds, which remain open daily from sunrise to sunset.

The golden Buddha statue remains partially underground, as multiple excavation attempts throughout history have failed to completely remove it from the earth.
