[2025 Nonthaburi Attraction] Travel Guide for Wat Prasat (Updated Mar)

Wat Prasat is a national historical site. The most charming feature is the temple’s chapel, which is a Maha-ut chapel. It has no windows on either side of the walls. In the front, there is a castle-shaped door decorated with stucco patterns. At the back, there is only a small skylight behind the principal Buddha image. Another distinctive feature of the chapel is that it is shaped like the hull of a junk, or what is called “falling into the elephant’s belly”. The base of the chapel is curved like the curve of a junk, which is the unique characteristic of the chapel. Inside the chapel, there is a Buddha image, the principal Buddha image, called Luang Pho Yai or the Phra Buddha Prasat Thong. It is a stucco Buddha image in the meditation posture, enshrined together with disciples and a group of more than 25 stucco Buddha images in the meditation and Mara-Vijaya postures. It is a sacred Buddha image that the people of Nonthaburi worship.

It is an ancient temple, which is assumed to have been built during the reign of King Prasat Thong, which is over 400 years old. The temple's chapel, which is a Maha-ut chapel, has no windows on either side of the wall. In front, there is a castle-shaped door decorated with stucco patterns. At the back, there is only a small skylight behind the principal Buddha image. Another distinctive feature of the chapel is that it is shaped like a junk's hull, or what is known as falling into the elephant's tummy. The base of the chapel is curved like the curve of a junk, which is a characteristic of Ayutthaya-era chapels. Inside the chapel, there is a Buddha image, the principal Buddha image, called Luang Pho Yai or the Prasat Thong Buddha image, which is a stucco Buddha image in the meditation posture, enshrined with disciples and a group of more than 25 stucco Buddha images in the meditation and Mara-Vijaya postures. It is a sacred Buddha image that the people of Nonthaburi worship. #Travelwithtrip2024 #WatPrasatNonthaburi #Nonthaburi

Maha Udom Church is still intact, no windows. The chapel looks like the hull of a junk, with 3 entrance doors and no windows. Another special feature is that there is a skylight behind the main Buddha image to spread light throughout the main Buddha image, as if a halo is shining out. This is another wonderful wisdom that our ancestors created. It is assumed that it was built during the reign of King Prasat Thong. Inside the temple, there is a giant Takhian tree that is over 1,000 years old, which was excavated in 2007. The Fine Arts Department surveyed it and found that it is over 1,000 years old. It is also considered the largest Takhian tree in the country. The rumor here is that if anyone comes into the temple and speaks badly, they will have to come back and ask for forgiveness here again. If anyone wants to ask for forgiveness, they can come and pray inside the chapel. Currently, the chapel is in the process of maintaining this chapel, but you can still go and pay your respects inside Maha Udom Church. #ReviewThaiTemple #VisitNonthaburi #MakeMeritAndWorship #Maha Uth Temple #Prasat Temple #Must-Visit Places #Pilgrimage Locations #Pilgrimage Travel #Secret Locations #Legend #Ancient Temples #Nonthaburi
