This is a stunning gold Buddha rising majestically 93 meters above the surrounding countryside - Visitors can access the huge right hand by way of a wooden dais - in the grounds is a life sized graphic depiction of hell, a little gory and other life sized images - the battle scene with fighting elephants and Thai and Burmese warriors for one - there is also a sparklingl temple with both the outside and inside paneled with glass mirror tiles causing multiple reflections of the Buddha's and other statues - there is a small market where food and soft beverages can be bought - this truly is a wonderful place and needs time to enjoy - off the beaten track - we had our own transport - really worth the effort if you can get here.

The review is based on my experience at Wat Muang. The Buddha is huge. The main hall is beautifully decorated with mirrors. The temple is well maintained.

The Wat Khun Inthapramun (InPramun) is a Buddhist temple which is located in Pho Thong, Ang Thong. The temple is located in a rural area (in the rice fields) about 10 Km North of Ang Thong town. On the grounds are the ruins of several ancient temple buildings & chedis. The largest reclining Buddha in Thailand is enshrined here. The main attraction of this sacred temple is the white reclining 50 meters long Buddha statue (Luang Phor Khao). The image was built at the Sukhothai era (7 centuries ago). The image of the reclining Buddha represents the entry of Buddha into Nirvana and the end of All reincarnations. According to the legend, Khun Inthapramun was a royal tax collector and he used some of the tax for building a sacred object. Being discovered that, he was sentenced to death and his remains buried there. And temple was called Wat Khun Inthapramun. We drove (about 15 km) from Wat Muang to Wat Khun Inthapramun. The navigation was somehow difficult and the navigating programs were not enough for finding the temple. So we asked the locals for the proper route, which was leading to the Wat. Currently the reclining Buddha is staying outdoor, it's not within the temple, since the original temple has been destroyed for a long time, Only the ruins of the pillars have remained. Around the reclining Buddha image there are some large trees and vast nice greenery. A new high-tech main hall has been built recently (for the temple) which has both elevator and escalator for the visitors. There's a very interesting attraction beside the Reclining Buddha, It's a vivid colorful outdoor market that sells Thai eatables and Thai, Buddhist souvenirs. The atmosphere of here is really friendly and peaceful and relatively not crowded. The Wat Khun Inthapramun is really a hidden gem which is located only 120 km away from Bangkok. When I was in Wat Khun Inthapramun, I noticed that there was no foreign tourist there. Go there and enjoy a local historic mysterious temple!
