Wat Chantawantok @ Phitsanulok

📍 Worship at Wat Chan Tawan Ok – Experience the Beauty of Faith Along the Nan River

Wat Chan Tawan Ok is located on the banks of the Nan River in the heart of Phitsanulok, opposite Wat Chan Tawan Ok, connected by the Suphan Kanlaya Bridge. This ancient temple holds both sides of the river's banks, both religiously and architecturally significant. Its highlight is the "Maha Somdet Ong Phatom" (Great Hall of the First Buddha), a dazzling golden structure. Built to enshrine the large, elegant, and powerfully revered Buddha image, "Luang Pho Thong Lai Ma," the alms-carrying Buddha image.

✨ Must-See Highlights:

Maha Somdet Ong Phatom (Great Hall of the First Buddha): A strikingly golden building on the riverside, clearly visible from Suphan Kanlaya Bridge.

Luang Pho Thong Lai Ma: A large, elegant, and revered Buddha image in front of the viharn (ordination hall).

Nan River Photo Spots: Beautiful views of the bridge and the temples on both sides, perfect for photographers and those seeking merit.

Thai Costume Photoshoot: Thai costume rentals are available for photos against the golden temple backdrop—perfect for social media posts.

Stop by Wat Phra Sri Rattana Mahathat (Wat Yai): Located not far from Wat Chan Tawan Ok, this temple makes a great day trip for pilgrims.

🧘♀️ Wat Chan Tawan Ok isn't just a place to worship—it's a place of peace, beauty, and inspiration that deserves to be experienced for yourself.
