Wat Phra That Chaiya, Royal Monastery, an ancient temple in the South

If you drive to visit the southern region on the Gulf of Thailand, such as Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Phatthalung, Songkhla, you will definitely pass Chaiya District. Wat Chaiya is in this district. Stopping by to pay homage before starting the southern trip is an interesting thing. I did this too. The temple is not far from the main road, Route 41. It only takes a short drive. It definitely won't ruin your trip.

We arrived around 3:00 PM. There weren't many tourists or people paying homage at this time. We could walk around and fully admire the chedi.
** They say that this is one of the three oldest temples in the southern region. It is also a first-class royal temple. The interior looks very peaceful and sacred.**#Surat Thani #Chaiya #Phra That Chaiya #Wat Phra Borommathat Chaiya Ratchaworawihan #Travel South #Travel Surat Thani #Surat Thani #Sai Mu #Worship #Drive to travel
