Wat Nang Phaya

Wat Nang Phaya is a historic temple in the heart of Phitsanulok, located close to Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat (Wat Yai) and the Nan River.

The temple is especially well known as the place associated with Phra Nang Phaya, one of Thailand's most celebrated and highly regarded Buddhist amulets. The original amulets were discovered within the temple grounds and have become an important part of Thailand's Buddhist and amulet heritage.

Beyond its famous amulets, Wat Nang Phaya offers visitors another glimpse into the long religious history of Phitsanulok. Its location makes it easy to combine with Wat Yai and other nearby historic sites during a walk through this part of the city.

For guests staying at Wangkaew Hotel, Wat Nang Phaya is within easy reach and adds another layer to exploring Phitsanulok beyond its best-known landmark.

Worth knowing: Wat Nang Phaya is particularly meaningful for visitors interested in Thai Buddhist amulets and the history behind one of the country's most recognised amulet traditions.
