Temple of the Great Relic (Wat Mahathat)

Wat Mahathat: Iconic Tree-Bound Buddha Head & Red Brick Ruins

5.0 (2)

Head straight for the sandstone Buddha face tangled in Bodhi tree roots—it is the one photo everyone comes for, but keep your head lower than the Buddha's out of respect. Most of the site is a scorched-red labyrinth of headless statues and crumbling prangs. Give it 45 minutes around sunset when the heat drops. Skip the overpriced Tuk-Tuk tours and just rent a bike for 50 baht to explore the surrounding park at your own pace.
