Besides a possible bicycle ride, to reach Wat Saphan, you will need to exercise yourself just a bit. The temple is located up the hill east of the road, like a few of the other temples in the area. We estimate you have to climb up a bit more than 100 meters, along a path covered with slates. It is not too difficult, but you will need to catch your breath a few times. Most other climbs to other destinations in the area are not that long.
You can see the standing Buddha Image from the main road. On the way there also is a small brick lotus-bud stupa.
The standing Buddha Image is called Phra Attharot. It measures 12.5 meters in height and stands with the posture of 'dispelling fear' (right hand raised with palm facing outwards).
The name Phra Attharot refers to the presumed height of the Buddha of 18 cubits (about 9 meters). It seems to be a common name for standing, tall Buddha Images.
In front of the Buddha, there are some pillars and remains of an assembly hall.
