Presentation Wat Ratchaburana

Thai name : วัดราชบุรณะ

GPS : 14.35873605,100.56768894 (See on the map)

My opinion:

opposit to Wat Mahathat, Wat Ratchaburana is a Khmer style temple built in the 15th century. It is especially noted for its large prang visible from afar and very well preserved. It is possible to climb inside the prang and take the stairs leading to two unrestored rooms where original paintings are still visible on the walls.
