The 20 Most Beautiful Temples In Thailand

[ianyonok]

I was at Wat Pratad Inkwaen (Golden rock temple) in Phrae and saw this listing of the 20 most Soo-ay temples in the land. I don't know who generated the list, but I realised that I've visited just 4 of them, so lots more to visit. Apologies for the poor photography, laminated sheets with reflections, I find tricky...

Ian, if you don't mind me pointing out:

Number 15 and 16 are in fact 17 and 18.

Here is Wat Tha Sung, Uthai Thani

and Wat Muang, Ang Thong

Hi Goran,

Thank you very much for that matey. While writing the post, I had made the mistake and corrected it, but the forum said multiple threads and deleted one. I hadn't noticed the updated one was deleted. It is now corrected.. I think...

Wow, beautiful photos from you, Thanks. Those 2 temples look quite spectacular.

Although, I love the old temples, personally. Wat SungKradai in Ang Thong looks wonderful, maybe I will get to see it one day. Looks like it is oozing history. I saw your photos from your visit there. Wonderful indeed.

There must be hundreds of other temples too, that could be in a top 20 list. Seem to be so many beautiful ones around. Some are wonderful due to location, simplicity or age. I thought the above list was nearly all new or flashy temples
