Notable features include the large vihara that once housed Thailand’s largest bronze Buddha image.
Next, you’ll visit the Srichum Temple, where the majestic Phra Atchana Buddha image rests in the subduing Mara posture. The temple's unique square structure, though roofless, offers stunning views of the old city as you ascend the stairs.
