Wat Burapha Phiram

Beautiful temple in the city with huge standing Buddha sculpture

Very impressive temple. Inside the temple rest many monk mannequin of highest craftsmanship with unbelievable realistic look I ever seen. Very peaceful temple accompanied by birds constant chirping.

Such a shame that everything's in Thai. I'm sure there are amazing story behind every sculptures here especially what each monk sculptures available here.

Beautiful place, peace and quiet... The standing Buddha is amazing, the temples are beautiful... Flowers, Accessories for monk are prepared, and affordable, 20-100 baht.. fast and convenient. However parking lot should not be in front of temples and standing Buddha.

Big, Tall and Terrific!
The Grand Buddha of Roi Et at Wat Burapha Phiram is simply a must-see for visitors (see my YouTube) to the dynamic Isan City of Roi-Et.

Wonderful place to visit... Nice temple and standing tallest Buddha image... We can go inside up to second level.

Peaceful and lovely place. Many monks around. Definitely worth to visit. Take you time.

Prang Ku or Prasat Nong Ku is a complex of buildings with a plan that resembles the Khmer nursing home known as ‘Arogayasala’.

It comprises the main prang, a library, wall and entrance pavilions, and a pond outside the wall. The ruins are in good condition, especially the roof structure of the main prang which still maintains its three tiers and the lotus base of the pinnacle. Other ruins of the temple have been restored and are located in a shady environment.
Apart from this, to the southeast inside the front wall, there are many more archaeological finds being kept such as a sandstone lintel depicting a personage sitting on an elephant’s or bull’s back in a niche above the Kala face. The abbot of Wat Si Rattanaram where Prang Ku is located said the lintel belonged to the front porch of the main prang. There are also 2 fragments of colunnette; one with a hermit at the base, a large Siva Lingam with its receptacle – Yoni - and a fragment of the pinnacle’s lotus base, which was adapted to be the base of a stucco image of Phra Sangkatchai. Prang Ku was built during the 12th – 13th Century A.D.
To get there: From the city, take Highway No. 23 ( Roi Et – Yasothon ) for 10 km. until reaching Thawat Buri district, then turn left for 6 km. to Prang Ku. Or take Highway No. 2044 ( Roi Et – Phon Thong ) for 8 km. then turn right for just about 1 km. to Prang Ku.

I had the Most Amazing Visit to Wat Burapha Phiram this Morning. I was there to pay My Respect to Great Lord Buddha, and the Thai Nationals that I met were both accommodating and helpful when they understood that I wasn't used to procedures. I Learned a lot today, and Next time I visit Wat Burapha Phiram my performance will be more thought through and Respectful. This is a Peaceful and Tranquil Wat that want give My Warmest of Recommendations for anyone interested in a visit. Leaving this Temple I had Happiness in My Heart. ❤❤❤
