Phra Si Rattana Mahathat Temple in Phitsanulok

The reason this temple is famous, and the reason why it gets so many visitors, is because of the Buddha statue cast to reside in the temple which is known as the Phra Phuttha Chinnarat. The Phra Phuttha Chinnarat is often described as being the most beautiful Buddha statue in Thailand.
The Phra Phuttha Chinnarat is 375 cm tall, cast in bronze, and is unusual in that the seated image of the Lord Buddha is surrounded by an aureola shaped like flames. The shrine hall where the Phra Phuttha Chinnarat statue is located is also a work of art with murals, elaborate gold stencil work and European style chandeliers. The shrine hall is normally very busy at all hours with Thai Buddhists coming to the Phra Si Rattana Mahathat Temple to pray.
