Wat Muang is best known for its Great Buddha of Thailand, a massive golden Buddha statue. The iconic statue is 305 feet (93 meters) tall, matching the scale and grandeur of the whole Wat Muang property, which spans 28 acres. To get to the Buddha, visitors can tour the temple and witness its many artifacts to learn more about the history of the site, which was established in 1687. Visiting this resplendent temple grants travelers greater insight into the history of Ayutthaya, Thailand’s original capital and spiritual stronghold. After exploring the temple, you’ll continue to the center of Ayutthaya.

Taking nearly 20 years to complete, Wat Muang, otherwise known as the Great Buddha of Thailand, stands an amazing 300 feet high, making it not only the tallest statue in Thailand, but the seventh-tallest in the world. The complex surrounding the giant glistening golden Buddha is both beautiful and informative, with the onsite museum exhibiting sacred objects, antiques and figures, as well as the first and largest silver holy Buddha image in Thailand. Elsewhere within the temple compound are vibrant depictions of heaven and hell, and Thai and Chinese paradises. There is also a series of statues narrating the gruesome history of the Thai-Burmese battle in Wiset Chai Chan.
