Wat Mahathat Worawihan in Samut Songkhram

beautiful place

The temple is worth a visit, my only critisism would be that areas are a little run down and need some TLC 🙏

Impressive, need to visit

Need mire cleaning.

Nice temple in the Bkk wat Arun temple style. Very peaceful and quiet in the center of the town

The temple has a lot of donation boxes without reason....

Beautiful architecture and peaceful place. We were very lucky that it is only two of us at the temple that allowed us to meditate.

This site is dominated by the impressive large white stone stuppa. You can get into the inner area of this stuppa by looking for one of the open access doors from the surrounding corridors.The Temple Assembly Hall is also open with Buddha Statues placed so that people can "make merit" adding thin gold leaf strips to the Statues.The inner four sides corridor surrounding the Stuppa is lined with Gold Buddha statues behind glass cases. However the glass cases are very mucky and really need to be cleaned.

Very beautiful!

Beautiful place. Parking Lot Available. Recommended.

🙏

We dont know what exactly founding date of this temple.But from excavations suggest the first structure were built in Dvaravati or Sukhothai period (around AD 11th - 12th ).The Phra Prang was built in Khmer style and restructure at beginning of Ayutthaya era (around AD 15ht - 16ththerefore, we can see the mixed style.

Old temple in the middle of city center, the big pagoda is temporary closed.

Wat Mahathat is a must to visit when you go to Phetchaburi the old town. There are many unique features such as the Prang Pagoda with five tips, and one of the most beautiful mural paintings in the country, and much more to see.

Nice place and local people respect this temple too much

The size of the pagoda is impressive when compared to the surrounding buildings. Also take time to appreciate the beauty of Buddha images and stucco.

Phetburi white clay, lovely and interesting.

Very old pagoda with a long history of the temple. You can walk around pagoda and see many old style art here

Peaceful and well-kept temple

Arrived late afternoon so very few people. The prang is impressive and the main hall has a variety of buddha statues, standard fare but good for temple lovers!

Crowd of people here, the famous temple. I love stucco architecture absolutely attractive things. Not much car park lot. Locate in the center of city.

Bulit by Khmer people during Sukhothai peroid. Unfortunstely, you cannot get close enough to check out its design as it is not opened to public.

Amazing temple with a hundred plus golden Budhas ..even had an ice cream cart!!. Sadly no English commentary or legend on the information posts so we were not sure what we were seeing. Worth half an hour nevertheless.

One of the well know temple @ Phetchanburi

Beautiful temple in ayuthaya. One of the top temples.. they have prepped the market so that it is easy for visitors to walk by to go to the temple...

Beautiful murals inside!!

Buddha would be happier if at least one of them shared their own things with the poors. Rather than building huge towers. 😂😂

Ayuthaya era wat. Dont miss the murals inside the main hall.

Good

The old temple since Ayuthaya era and this place is respected by Thai people, there has old Jedi for worship and make you good luck.

Center for Buddhists & convenient to get there.

Good place for minds to relax

Just passed by at night and it was so peaceful without people.

Big temple.

A beautiful temple with tall khmer-style prangs, lovely stucco decorations and a great main hall...

Great Historical Temple

Nice quite place, minimum visitors. We was alone in the area.

Lovely place & make sure to walk around behind the main temple its a work to discover.

Beautiful temple, you can across the road to find some deliciuos foods near by the canal.

Famous temple in town. Beautiful and peaceful.

The most famous Temple in townDont have to pay for anything expect a pack flower(20b i guessjust say coz someone might take advantage on u. Most of the stuff r donated at will.

Impressive stupa-like wat. Pity its surrounded by buildings obscuring view.

Good place for donation

Great temple with Five pole Jedee

Historical architecture with religious. This place is worth for your time visiting Phetchaburi. You can take a walk around te city and then you will see top of pagoda. I like the minor temple beside the main one because it looks more antique and they can preserve all items. It not look to buddhist business that much.
