Wat Tan Suwan: Today, we'll take you to see the main chapel of Wat Tan Suwan. Surrounding the chapel are four large Naga serpents, each in gold, green, rainbow, and black. Each has nine heads, and the color of the Naga indicates its lineage. The temple's sides feature exquisite golden wood carvings. Inside, the lower level of the chapel is made of palm wood and palm pillars, while the upper level is made of golden teak. A replica of the Phra Buddha Chinnarat is housed. Pay homage to the over 100-year-old Luang Pho Dam Nak Prok, discovered within the temple. Inside, the chapel is made of over 50-year-old palm wood for the floor, walls, and pillars, which have a unique and beautiful pattern. The chapel is constructed using contemporary stucco and three sculptural techniques: low relief, high relief, and free-standing. This creates a sense of depth, depicting the end of Buddhist Lent, when the Lord Buddha descends from the Daowadung heaven, accompanied by a throng of tree spirits. This is another beautiful temple where you can not only pay respects and pray, but also admire the beautiful artwork.

Location: Don Thong Subdistrict, Mueang Phitsanulok District, Phitsanulok
