Khun Inthapramun Temple is an ancient historical site of great significance in Ang Thong Province. It is believed to have been established during the Sukhothai period and later restored during the Ayutthaya era. The temple is renowned for housing the largest and longest outdoor reclining Buddha statue in Thailand, measuring approximately 50 meters in length, making it an exceptionally important and valuable work of Buddhist art.

The reclining Buddha displays graceful features with a gentle smiling face, reflecting the distinctive characteristics of Sukhothai art, which emphasizes elegance, serenity, and compassion. The balanced proportions and posture of the Buddha demonstrate the high level of craftsmanship of ancient artisans and represent the strong faith of the people who contributed to the creation of this masterpiece.

A unique feature of Khun Inthapramun Temple is that the reclining Buddha is enshrined outdoors, as the original vihara collapsed over time. Today, only the brick foundations and remnants of pillars remain surrounding the statue, serving as important evidence of the former grandeur of the temple’s architecture and allowing visitors to imagine its historical prosperity.

Within the temple grounds, there is also a newly constructed ordination hall, recognized as one of the most modern in Thailand. The hall is designed to provide universal accessibility, featuring elevators and escalators to accommodate elderly visitors and people with disabilities. Inside, the ordination hall is adorned with beautiful mural paintings that depict scenes from the life of the Buddha and convey Buddhist teachings with remarkable detail.

The atmosphere at Khun Inthapramun Temple is peaceful, shady, and spiritually uplifting. Visitors can stroll through the ancient ruins, study the historical background, and pay respect to the pristine white reclining Buddha, which stands out strikingly against the blue sky. The site is also ideal for photographers and artists who wish to capture the harmony between Buddhist art and the traces of time.

Khun Inthapramun Temple is therefore not only a historical tourist destination but also a sacred place that seamlessly connects the past with the present. It is an ideal destination for merit-making, learning, and spiritual relaxation for visitors of all ages.
