1,300 Year Old Sandstone Reclining Buddha - Oldest in Thailand - Wat Thammachak Semaram
Wat Thammachak Semaram, locally known as Wat Phra Norn ('Temple of the Reclining Buddha'), this temple is significant for housing a 1,300 year old, 13.3m long reclining Buddha carved from sandstone blocks by the Dvaravati. It's the oldest reclining Buddha sculpture in Thailand.
The face is worn considerably and the blocks that make it are askew, but because it's not covered with a layer of stucco it actually looks as old as it is, which makes for a fairly impressive sight.
On display nearby is a stone Buddhist Wheel of Law that is thought to predate the Buddha image.
There is also a small museum with a display of artifacts that were uncovered at this site.
The highlight of the temple is the old reclining Buddha. It is worth a special trip to see if you enjoy ancient artifacts like this. There are also a few other sites in the area that you could combine into an all day trip.
Enjoy the video!
