Wat Pho Prathap Chang

Wat Pho Prathap Chang is a historic Buddhist temple in Pho Prathap Chang District, Phichit Province, on the Yom River. Built in 1701 by King Suriyenthrathibodi (King Suea) of Ayutthaya at his birthplace, it is one of Phichit's most important heritage sites. The temple is noted for its Ayutthaya-style ubosot enclosed by double walls, ancient chedi, large reclining Buddha and royal history, attracting visitors interested in history and architecture.

Visitors can expect a historic temple compound set near the Yom River with an Ayutthaya-period ubosot surrounded by double boundary walls, ancient brick chedis, Buddha images including a large reclining Buddha, and a shrine to King Suea. The grounds are open and park-like with mature trees, historic ruins, and active prayer halls where locals make merit. The site is quiet and primarily for sightseeing, photography and cultural observation.

Built in 1701 during the Ayutthaya period by King Suriyenthrathibodi, known as King Suea, at his birthplace in Ban Pho Prathap Chang. The king ordered the construction to commemorate his birthplace and to serve as a royal temple. The ubosot and surrounding walls reflect late Ayutthaya architecture and the temple is registered as an ancient monument by the Fine Arts Department.

An important Buddhist temple for the local community in Phichit, used for merit-making, religious ceremonies and annual commemorations related to King Suea. It represents Ayutthaya cultural heritage in lower northern Thailand and remains an active place of worship.
