The one and only stainless steel temple in Thailand

The Stainless Steel Temple, officially known as Wat Phra Maha Chedi Tripob Trimongkol, is one of Hat Yai’s most unique and striking landmarks. Perched on a hill overlooking the city, this modern Buddhist temple is renowned for its intricate design made entirely from stainless steel — a rare sight among Thailand’s traditional golden temples. The shimmering structure reflects sunlight beautifully by day and glows ethereally under soft lighting at night.

Built to symbolize purity, wisdom, and eternal faith, the temple’s architecture combines contemporary creativity with deep spiritual meaning. Its central stupa is adorned with detailed metal carvings of Buddhist motifs, sacred symbols, and teachings that glisten in the tropical sun. Visitors can climb to the upper levels of the pagoda for panoramic views of Hat Yai city and the surrounding mountains.
The peaceful hilltop setting adds to the temple’s tranquil atmosphere, making it a favorite spot for meditation and reflection. Chiming bells and prayer flags create a serene soundscape as the wind passes through the open steel framework.
Wat Phra Maha Chedi Tripob Trimongkol stands as a symbol of modern faith and artistry — a fusion of spirituality and innovation that showcases Hat Yai’s evolving cultural identity.
