Wat Mahathat Wachiramongkol (Wat Bang Thong), Krabi Province

In March of this year, we had the opportunity to visit Wat Bang Thong with our family to pay homage to the Buddha's relics and to bring auspiciousness to our lives. The temple grounds are spacious, open, and airy. The main highlight is the Great Chedi, which is influenced by the Mahabodhi Temple in Bodh Gaya, India, where the Buddha attained enlightenment. It stands 95 meters tall, with a stunning golden-yellow color. In the evening, candles are lit in front of the temple entrance, and the yellow-orange glow from the candles adds to the beauty. Location: Ban Bang Thong, Na Nuea Subdistrict, Ao Luek District, Krabi Province. What to prepare: If you visit around noon, it's advisable to bring an umbrella as there are few shaded areas, and it can get quite hot.
