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!

Unseen/Hidden gems of Ang Thong province, Wat Sung-Kra-Tai is an ancient buddhist temple ruin dated back to the early Ayudhaya dynasty some 400 years ago. The prominent characteristic made this temple worth visited is the 4 Banyan three which their roots have grown all over the hall and 4 sides of temple walls serving as a pile to uphold the wall from falling down. Also the branches and leaves of banyan trees providing shades from sun and rain for the hall/church as it's roof has fallen down and the Buddhist image in the hall are laying unprotected from rain and sun for who knows how long; resembling "Prasart Ta Thom" in Cambodia well known for the root of the tree which cover parts of the wall of the temple itself. It is located just 10 minutes drive, 5 miles (7+ km) from the city hall just still in the vicinity of Ang Thong city. There are 3 halls in the temple. The first hall is located the Buddha image called "Luang-phor Kaen", the second hall holder 3 large Buddha image so called "Luang Photo Sri" meaning good deeds.The second Buddha image is called "luang Photo Wandee"meaning a good day.and the third BI called "All the happiness " when reading all the three Buddha image title it means be happy and prosperouswill be to those who visit and pay respect to the Buddha images. The 3rd hall are located the seven serpents, and the bhrams called " Soam" very weinterestin yet worth visit. I strongly recommended.
