... Nice view of the most sacred temple and pagoda in southern Thailand... a deeply spiritual and historic Buddhist pilgrimage site for Thai Buddhists... renowned for its central chedi believed to house Buddha relics, the temple features a blend of Thai and Sri Lankan architectural styles... the 78-metre-high central chedi is also the spiritual heart... the complex includes a museum, where you can admire thousand of Buddha images as well as tools used for house work in the ancient times.... as one of southern Thailand's oldest and most revered temples, it attracts both pilgrims and tourists, highlighting its cultural and historical importance... Thanks SL!¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Wat Phra Mahathat Woramahawihan (or Phra Mahathat monastery), located in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province in Thailand on a narrow ridge between the Pacific and Indian oceans, has served as a major regional Buddhist centre since its founding in the 8th century, where a Hindu shrine once stood (5th-8th centuries).
The temple’s full name of Wat Phra Mahathat Woramahawihan translates as “Great Noble Temple of the Great Relics Chedi,” and the chedi (or stupa) itself is known as Phra That Borommathat, a name used for several other chedis in Thailand.
It was officially inscribed as a world heritage site in 2026.
