Prasat Thong Kham (Golden Castle)

A lot of driving today. After 2 hours we finally arrived at our first attraction for the day, and it was definitely worth the drive.

Wat Tha Sung, is a large Buddhist complex which also has The Golden Castle and the Diamond Temple. It is undoubtedly the most famous and visited temple in Uthai Thani province. Built in the Ayutthaya period with tree trunks, it was nicknamed Wat Tha Sung, sung meaning log in Thai. The original temple gradually fell into disrepair until the revered monk Luang Por Ruesi Ling Dam launched its restoration and turned it into a big centre for Buddhist teaching.

The Golden Castle was incredible, absolutely stunning.

Prasat Thong Kham also nicknamed the Golden Castle. Exterior and interior are covered in gold with magnificently carved reliefs, especially on the many doors of the building.Read more
