Wat Mahathat, Buddhist temple in Phraek Si Racha, Thailand.

The temple compound contains a main stupa, ancient Buddha statues, and carved stone structures that represent traditional Sukhothai architectural elements.

The temple's construction dates back to the Sukhothai period, when it served as a center for religious worship and housed sacred Buddhist relics.

Local Buddhist ceremonies take place at Wat Mahathat throughout the year, maintaining traditional practices that connect the present community with historical traditions.

The temple grounds remain open to visitors daily from sunrise to sunset, with local guides available to explain the architectural features.
