Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat Woramahawihan

We visited Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat on a Saturday in March. It was a little busy but soon found a free spot to park the car. No fee for parking. Outside the temple we made donations to get the candle, sticks, flower & gold leaf. We then lit the candle & sticks & placed them in the holders. We knelt & prayed & placed the flower. Then the gold leaf was placed on one of the many Buddha’s. We then entered the temple. No fee was asked for. Inside the Buddha figures & the temple itself are beautiful. Also the figures of the soldiers were very nice. We made more donations while we sat with the monk for a blessing. We probably stayed about 30 to 40 minutes inside. Took many pictures. Once outside there are other Buddha’s to see & the old ruins. Total time there around 2 hours. We bought some water but left to go find food elsewhere in Pitsanulok a bit quieter.

Beautiful original gold Buddhas and temples from the ancient Sukhothai period of Thailand in Pitsanulok province. Reachable by train, car,and flight. Walk across the river to Wang Chan, and you'll see the beautiful ancient temples and palace foundation of Ayudhya's famous King Naresuan.

A must visit Buddhist​ temple​ in​ Thailand, one of the most beautiful​ and one of the most popular​ Buddha statues​ in Thailand. Definitely​ worth​ the visit. There is free car park and while you are here you can visit another​ old temple​ across​ the road.

I try to stop​ by and pay respect​ whenever i can. But beware of the opening​ hour​s, i have been there​ just after the closing​ time.
Hope you​ would like​ it too. Although​ it is a busy place but find a cool spot and meditate. Just be there relax

If you come to Phitsanulok, you have to come visit this temple. There is no entrance fee for this magnificent temple. As a mark of respect, remember not to stand up in the main prayer hall while you are taking pictures.

Important temple and full with the historical detail. Every single item named with the meaning that made us heartly pround of the story. The big buddha is really beatiful, calm and kind that help us feeling relief while we concentrate and stop thinking anything.
The location is on the bank of Nan River where is importat and nurich for the population in this part of Thailand. Also sit in the central of area that you will never get lost if you drive or walk. Warn the female visitors to not wear the shorts or shorter skirt otherwise you will not be allowed to get into the sanctuary to pay respect to the buddist sacre coeur there regarding the strict ancient culture. The tiny metal statue of elephant put aside of the big buddha in the sactuary for fortelling your wish by lifting up that elephant statue... Believe it or not, up to you! Many ancience heads, laps and stone bodies of buddha in the store show area that look really scary! There is the tourism tram for city tour in this temple as well.

Very beautiful and excellent. Wat to pay your respects. Parking was crazy. Lots to drink and eat. Free entrance. It's pretty big and lots to see.

One of a beautiful​ and most popular​ Buddha statues​ in Thailand.
i like this place & people here.

Large Buddhist temple complex with a stunning and famed gold Buddha statue. The entrance was free, and there were also several food stalls around on the outside of the complex.

Make sure to pay a visit to the large lady statue in the garden section as well. :)

Beautiful temple, parking around, many staffs for more info.

Beautiful temple, many historical artifacts on display. Hundreds of buddha sculptures here.

The large main buddha is simply beautiful, almost mesmerising.

Really worth a visit to this temple.

Was not crowded at all, but we arrived after main crowds had left.

This is a very good temple to enjoy.

I think they have 2 names for the temple..Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat Woramahawihan and Phra Phuttha Chinnarat

Its a must spot to visited if you are in Phitsanulok. Well-managed the parking lot can be a little bit tricky but i was fortunate enough to visited in the less crowded time.

Fantastic, majestic and awe inspiring place. For me and many tourists from my group this place epitomizes Thai religious place of worshiping. The crowd of disciples during mass ceremony was huge. In the morning in the vicinity of this temple I saw monks collecting food. Townsfolk willingly donated it to them for which they received some blessing.

It's definitely one of the most beautiful and biggest temples in the city. There's no entrance fee for foreigners. It's free just like for thai people. A must see. Also go around a little bit. There's some ruins and a huge Buddha in a beautiful garden.

Incessantly and faithfully, this temple has continued to remain one of the most significant among others in Thailand where the magnificent Phra Phuttha Chinnarat has long-enshrined. Crowded as expected, but not too chaotic thanks to the efficient management team. Once I stepped in the sacred chapel, the sober serenity surged in with no preceding signs. In a sudden, I became blissful and unburdened. Wish I’d have more time to linger around here for more sacred experiences.

The most given elegant, respectness of this province and Thai people for many years.
Very nice buddha statue with golden color.

Every time you go to Grandma's house, you have to visit Wat Phra Sri Rattana Mahathat Woramahawihan. which is a first class royal monastery Woramahawihan type, located on Phutthabucha Road, on the bank of the Nan River. Opposite the city hall Phitsanulok Province It is an enshrinement of Phra Buddha Chinnarat. Buddha statues are considered to be the most beautiful in the world. When I got to see the real thing, it was as mentioned. And this is also a temple with a long history dating back to the Sukhothai period. There is architecture. The art and sculptures are very beautiful.
It is considered to be a valuable cultural heritage of Phitsanulok. There are a lot of people at the main temple during festivals. The last time I came was during New Year's. At this temple, there are a lot of food for sale around the temple and many cartoon ballon. Therefore, I really like temples during festivals because I can go buy balloons in front of the main temple. And precautions to be taken during the time when there are a lot of people at the big temple. You should not wear expensive shoes because otherwise they may be lost.

The main Buddha image here is known as the Pra Buddha Chinnarat statue, and is considered to be one of the most beautiful in Thailand. Consequently, lots of pilgrims visit here. The temple also has a Khmer style prang (hollow tower), which is quite unusual in this part of the country.

Very beautiful temple complex. I didn't get to see inside the temple because it was closed the day that I went there. But that didn't matter because there is just so much to see and the grounds are so well kept. With the ancient ruins so well preserved. I can't wait till November when I go back again. Hopefully I will get to see inside this time. I highly recommend to others to get the out of the popular tourist destinations and come visit some of these places. I just traveled solo to 12 provinces in Thailand and Phitsanulok would definitely have to be one of favourite provinces and one of the most underrated provinces I've been to so far

Second most visited temple in Thailand, a must visit when going to Thailand.
