Wat Tham Theeraram is a Buddhist temple located just beyond the railway line, not far from Buriram Station. The architecture of the ordination hall is very classical, but the avenue of seated Buddha statues leading to it and the plaza surrounding the ubosot (ordination hall) with its figures of monks and their various alms bowls are particularly worth seeing. While not a must-see, it's a small temple with a lot of charm. Construction of a large Buddha statue is expected to begin in May 2022. Once completed, Wat Tham Theeraram will most likely be the most interesting temple in Buriram. To be continued…

The temple can be reached on foot from Buriram train station in about ten minutes.
