Wat Mongkhon Bophit

Wat Mongkhon Bophit – Bronze Buddha of Ayutthaya

Wat Mongkhon Bophit is an active temple compound in Ayutthaya, where visitors and devotees come throughout the day to worship. Located directly next to the historic Wat Phra Si Sanphet, the site offers a striking contrast between ancient ruins and a living temple environment.

The highlight of Wat Mongkhon Bophit is its monumental bronze Buddha image, Phra Mongkhon Bophit, one of the largest in Thailand. The statue, covered in gold leaf, stands nearly 17 meters high including its 4.5-meter base – an awe-inspiring subject for photography.
