Wat Phra Si Iriyabat | Kamphaeng Phet Province

#Where to travel this summer Wat Phra Si Iriyabat or Wat Phra Yuen is located in Kamphaeng Phet Historical Park. It was built around the 20th-22nd Buddhist century. It is a large temple and has a unique ancient site, the Phra Si Iriyabat Pavilion. This ancient site is unique in that each direction houses four Buddha images or four postures: standing (Phra Si Iriyabat), walking (Phra Lila), sitting (Phra Mara Vijaya), and reclining (Phra Saiyasat). Currently, only the standing (Phra Si Iriyabat) remains, which is in a relatively complete condition compared to the other postures. The face is in the style of Sukhothai Buddha images in Kamphaeng Phet style, with a wide forehead and a pointed chin. - Phra Maha Viharn is a large chapel located at the very front. The chapel is situated on a two-tiered base. The lower base is made of laterite and is a lotus-shaped base with a chicken breast shape around the circumambulation area. Decorated with laterite railings around the base of the upper part of the temple, there are porches in both the front and back. On top, there is a monk's seat and a base for placing Buddha images. - The laterite cutting pond is located in front of the temple. It is a pond used to cut laterite into various shapes before using it to build the temple. #Kamphaeng Phet Historical Park
