Ayutthaya/Ayutthaya (Thailand) - Wat Phanan Choeng Temple

Description and is it worth a visit

Bronze statue of Buddha in Wat Phanan Choeng Temple

This is a very old temple, and at the same time very well preserved. No one knows exactly how long it was built, but it is known that it was built before Ayutthaya has become the capital. Despite its venerable age, the temple does not look old and dilapidated at all, but rather modern. In addition, it is a functioning temple.

The territory of the temple is quite large, and now there are several buildings located here, including an active monastery. The oldest bronze statue of Buddha in Ayutthaya (made in 1325) is kept here. You can see it in the prayer hall.
