“Golden chedi and ancient murals across the river.”
Wat Ratchaburana sits serenely on the west bank of the Nan River, connected to Wat Yai by a pedestrian bridge. Its golden chedi, over 700 years old, gleams above the treetops and houses sacred relics. The temple's ordination hall features exquisite mural paintings depicting the life of the Buddha and scenes from Phitsanulok history. Inside you'll also find a replica of the Royal Barge, showcasing the importance of river culture to the city. It's a quieter alternative to Wat Yai, perfect for those seeking contemplation and photographic opportunities.
A peaceful, historic temple directly opposite Wat Yai across the Nan River, known for its striking golden chedi and beautiful mural paintings that date back centuries.
