Visit Ang Thong and pay homage to Luang Pho Wat Muang.

"Ang Thong", a province near Bangkok, has many interesting things for us to travel to and is worth visiting at least once, whether you travel there for a day trip or stay overnight. There are many tourist attractions. A popular tourist attraction in Ang Thong is "Luang Pho Yai" or "Phra Phuttha Maha Nawamin Sakyamuni Si Wichian Chai Chan" located at "Wat Muang", Wichian Chai Chan District. It is considered the largest Buddha statue in the world. It is a Buddha statue in the Mara-Vijaya attitude, with a lap width of 63 meters and a height of 95 meters. This Buddha statue was completed in 2009 and a replica was built and placed below for Buddhists to light incense and candles to worship. As for the entrance to worship Luang Pho Yai, there is a high staircase with a Naga serpent crawling as a handrail in the middle and on the left and right sides of the stairs. According to the beliefs of the locals who come to worship Luang Pho Yai, it is believed that touching the Buddha's fingers is very auspicious. There are steps built for people to reach out and touch it more conveniently.
