Wat Ratchaburana: A Beautiful and Ancient Temple in Phitsanulok
Wat Ratchaburana is located in Nai Mueang Subdistrict, Mueang District, Phitsanulok Province, near Wat Phra Si Mahathat Woramahawihan. In the past, it was connected to Wat Nang Phaya, but with the advent of development, the Friendship Highway was constructed through the area, separating the two temples. This temple is over a thousand years old and houses many interesting ancient sites and artifacts.
The main attraction is the Luang Chedi, a round Lanka-style chedi set on an octagonal base, surrounded by smaller chedis. It can be seen from the other side of the river. The ordination hall (ubosot) is located near the library hall (ho trai) and features murals depicting the Ramakien and unique erotic art not found in other temples.
