Wat Mahathat, Buddhist temple in Nai Mueang, Thailand.
The temple complex spans over two hectares and features multiple chedis, shrines, and traditional Thai architectural elements within its brick-enclosed walls.
Constructed during the 14th century Sukhothai period, this temple underwent numerous modifications while maintaining its position as a center for Buddhist education.
The temple walls display detailed murals depicting Buddhist narratives, while the main building houses an important Buddha statue that draws religious practitioners.
Visitors must follow a dress code covering shoulders and legs, with clothing available for rent at the entrance during regular opening hours.
The temple contains a collection of ancient Buddhist relics, including what many believe to be a fragment of Buddha's tooth.
