“ Giant 12-meter Phra Siwali statue for good fortune, golden hall with a “Rahu mouth” passage, Naga cave simulating an underwater city, and a 25-meter-long reclining Buddha. ”
Wat Mai Supadittharam dates back to the reign of King Rama V. Originally a local riverside temple along the Tha Chin River, it served as a spiritual center for the surrounding community. It was later extensively renovated and developed by Phra Kru Pathom Chayaphivat (Luang Por Tao), transforming it into a distinctive temple known for its contemporary golden architectural style, setting it apart from other temples in Nakhon Pathom.
