Opposite Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat, across the street, is this temple, notable for its brick chedi, visible from the street and beautifully illuminated at night. A boat used by King Rama V, now converted into an altar, two whihans (traditional temple halls), a newer building, and another wooden structure complete the temple complex. The first whihan houses a golden Buddha over 700 years old. It's worth taking the short walk to see it from its neighbor. And if your legs are tired, a soothing massage awaits you in the massage parlor on the ground floor of the newest building (one hour for 120 baht).

Free entry. Open from 6:30 am to 8:30 pm.

This temple is just a 5-minute walk from Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat. If you choose a hotel near Phitsanulok railway station, you can easily explore the surrounding area on foot or by tuk-tuk, as tuk-tuks are always readily available in front of the station.
