Reclining Buddha Sai Yat - Phra Buddha Sai Yat

Visiting Phra Buddha Sai Yat (The Reclining Buddha) was a truly mesmerizing experience. The sheer size and elegance of the reclining Buddha statue left me in awe. At 37 meters long, this statue is not only massive but also beautifully detailed. The peaceful expression on the Buddha’s face, paired with the serene surroundings of the temple, creates a calming atmosphere that allows you to take in the spiritual significance of the place. What I found particularly interesting was how the reclining Buddha symbolizes the Buddha’s final moments before attaining Nirvana, a powerful representation of peace and enlightenment. The temple is well-maintained, and the staff and monks are incredibly welcoming, making the visit even more memorable. Whether you’re here for spiritual reasons or to admire the incredible craftsmanship, Phra Buddha Sai Yat is a must-see when visiting Ayutthaya. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the cultural and spiritual history of Thailand!

I visited the Reclining Buddha at Wat Lokayasutharam, and it’s absolutely stunning! This massive golden-yellow Buddha, peacefully lying at 42 meters long, is such a calming sight. The whole area feels so serene and full of history. It was also renewed recently and I belive still under going maintainance modez

They rebuilt it and now it’s way less iconic than before and not as beautiful as before... now it’s not possible to see the rock anymore and it doesn’t look 600 years old anymore. Restauration doesn’t mean to do that...
