A Hidden Gem for History Enthusiasts: The Lesser-Known Temple of Phitsanulok - Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat

Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat วัดพระศรีรัตนมหาธาตุวรมหาวิหาร (วัดใหญ่) Phitsanulok once played a significant role as a major city in the western part of the Khmer Empire, with Phitsanu=Vishnu, one of the principal deities in Hinduism, meaning 'the realm of Vishnu'. Later, it broke away from the Khmer Empire and became part of the emerging Thai state of Sukhothai. Many people use Phitsanulok as a transit point, heading north to Chiang Mai or south to Bangkok. If you're just here for a brief rest, history buffs might enjoy a visit. Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat is the most important temple in Phitsanulok, established during the Sukhothai era (1357). Inside the temple, there is a Buddha statue commonly referred to by the Chinese as the 'Buddha of Success' (พระพุทธชินราช - 'King of Victory'), which is one of the most beautiful and revered Buddha images in Thailand. However, there is still controversy over the exact time of its casting, with some believing it was in the 10th century, while others suggest the 14th century. The Marble Temple in Bangkok and the Thai Buddha Hall in Kaiyuan Temple, Chaozhou, Guangdong, both house Buddha images modeled after this one. 🚄 To visit, you can walk 1.5 kilometers from Phitsanulok Train Station or take a Grab.

This is Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat, known among the locals as "Wat Yai", located in Bangkok Thailand The temple is a big and more important than other temples in Phitsanulok and is believed to be built in the Sukhothai period being renovated from time to time".

Discovery of iconic resort in Phitsanolok

Along my solo bike tour from North to South Thailand, I was searching for an accommodation after sunset. At first I was skeptical when the road leading towards the destination was dark and secluded amongst local village and paddy field but soon I was amazed with this new resort located out of no where in the city of Phitsanolok. It deserves its name - Icon Resort. I've ended up stay put 3 days from my cycling journey! #cyclingtour #biketour #bikepacking #urbanexplorer #passionpassport

The room is spacious even though the bathroom is outdated but clean and fine. I love the huge swimming pool at the hotel

Dynasty

Dynasty is Chinese restaurant where is located at Topland Hotel, Phitsanulok province, Thailand. I recommend you to order Peking duck. It is so delicious and you can ask them to do noodles with duck in gravy sauce (Rad-Na duck/ ราดหน้าเป็ด) and duck Miang (เมี่ยงเป็ด) as well. Moreover, this restaurant also serves dimsum. It suits with people who like to enjoy the time with family and friends because you can sit around 8 people in one table. #myvlogtrip #mytripvlog #thailand
