Wat Khun Inthapramun is located 120 kilometers north of Bangkok in Ang Thong Province, about 40 kilometers from Ayutthaya or Lopburi. This ancient temple, dating back to the Sukhothai period, houses Thailand's longest reclining Buddha, measuring 50 meters – compared to the 46-meter reclining Buddha at Wat Pho in Bangkok. The building that once housed it was destroyed by fire, so the statue now stands in the open air. Largely unknown to tourists, the temple has hosted several Thai kings who paid their respects, including King Borommakot in 1753, King Rama V in 1878 and 1908, and King Rama IX in 1973 and 1975. A vegetable festival is also held at the temple in January, featuring tomatoes, squash, peppers, and other aromatic plants.

To my knowledge, there is no public transport to Wat Khun Inthapramun. Therefore, you will need your own transport or must arrange for your tuk-tuk driver or similar to pick you up. In my opinion, visiting the temple on its own isn't necessarily worthwhile, but it can be quite interesting when combined with Wat Muang and the giant Buddha.

When visiting a temple in Thailand, there are some rules to observe: appropriate clothing (knees and shoulders should be covered), remove shoes upon entering the building, be quiet, no hugging or kissing, do not point your feet at the Buddha statue, and do not smoke.
