The Buddhist temple houses Thailand’s most beautiful Buddha image, Phra Phutthachinnarat. Built in 1357, the temple is located on Phutthabucha Road by the Nan River. It houses many valuable antiques such as: Phra Phutthachinnarat (Phra Buddha Chinaraj) Cast in the attitude of subduing evil, the huge bronze Buddha image is honoured as the country’s most beautiful Buddha statue with graceful characteristics. The statue’s unique feature is the wooden flame-like halo, a symbol of spiritual radiance. The Statue was cast during the reign of Phra Maha Thammaracha I (Phraya Lithai) of Sukhothai Kingdom. The Buddha image was cast together with other famous image called Phra Phutthachinnasi and Phra Si Satsada. Mother-of-pearl inlaid wooden doors At the entrance of the Wihan, the splendidly decorated door was made in 1756 by craftsmen of the royal school into an intricate traditional Thai style and design during the reign of King Borommakot in the late Ayutthaya period. Phra Luea The Buddha statue was made from the bronze left over from the building of the Phra Phutthachinnarat, Phra Phutthachinnasi, and Phra Si Satsada image. Phra Luea, in the attitude of subduing evil, is placed inside a small Wihan called Wihan Luea. Wihan Phrachao Khao Nipphan, Wihan Klaep or Wihan Luang Sam Phi Nong Located at the south of Wihan Phra Si Satsadaram, this image hall houses a stone coffin placed on a pyre beautifully carved and decorated with colourful pieces of mirror. It is said that the coffin represents the Lord Buddha in nirvana. This unique antique is quite a special treasure of the temple. Phra Attharot The standing Buddha image in the attitude of persuading relatives not to quarrel dates back to 1257. The image was formerly placed in a large Wihan which was later ruined. Phra Prang Prathan Situated behind the main Wihan, the principal Phra Prang or corn-shaped stupa was first built in the Sukhothai style before being adapted into the current shape in the Ayutthaya period.
