Wihan Phramongkhon Bophit in Ayutthaya


Wihan Phramongkhon Bophit
Ayutthaya

Wihan Phramongkhon Bophit contains one of the largest bronze Buddha images found in Thailand and also houses numerous smaller images. Destroyed by the Burmese in 1767, the temple was returned to its former glory through renovation in 1956. The temple has a lot of historical significance and was the original site for Royal cremations; a practice that now takes place at Sanam Luang in Bangkok.

Details: The site is 08:30 to 16:00 and admission is 30 Baht.

How to get there: Wihan Phramongkhon Bophit is easily accessible by bicycle. A Tuk-Tuk fare from the centre of the town is around 30 Baht.
