Summary edit

Description

"Wat Muang ???????

Located at Mu 6 Tambon Huasaphan, Amphoe Wiset Chai Chan, 8 kilometers from Angthong City. The ubosot of Wat Muang is surrounded by the biggest lotus petals in the world. Inside the ubosot, there are figures of renowned monks from all over the country. Visitors can also enjoy shopping for local Angthong products.

It is a fairly large Wat with expansive, landscaped grounds with many small restaurants and food & souvenir vendors. No price gouging here ? the Buddhist monks control the prices of everything sold on the grounds so that visitors will be encouraged to return often.

The Wat boasts one of the largest statues of Buddha in Thailand ? over 90 feet tall! Unfortunately it is undergoing restoration and was closed to visitors when we were there.

The main temple on the grounds has walls covered with small glass mirrors inside and out which gives it a spectacular effect. The main temple also houses a wide array of Thai Buddhist statues.

A significant portion of the grounds is devoted to life size characters meant to dissuade visitors from an evil life and encourage ?jai dee? or glad heart through stories and fables. Below are two giant characters depicting the entrance to hell for those of ?jai dum? or black heart."
