What travelers say:
The temple is in Phetchabun Province, Khao Kho District, up on a hill where views are very beautiful. There are 5 statues of Buddha Lords on the straight line from small to big in white color which make this temple so special. The decorations are impressive in the whole area that we can see how much hard works have been spent here. That’s a large temple surrounded by mountains. Khao Kho is a famous tourist destination so once you’re there, you can’t miss this place. The weather is very pleasant in January. Polite dress code is required same as in other temples in Thailand.

Be in Awe of Wat Prathat Phasornkaew#2023travelwish This temple's Buddha Statues and mosaic design leaves one in awe. There is no entrance fee but one has to dress modestly and leave one's footwear at the entrance. Do make your way to the top of the temple as there're more religious art to be viewed to learn about the faith. Also, the view from the top is scenic and if you are here during Jul-Sep, you might see the low lying 'sea of clouds', which presents an ethereal photo opportunity. #temple #thailand I hope to travel to Barcelona (Spain) after seeing the mosaic, which inspires me to see more of Gaudí's work.TravisO5

Three things cannot be long hidden, the Sun, the Moon and the majestic Buddha !!!#familytravel #tripblazers Instagram handle: #traveltolalaland Wat Pha Sorn Kaew ( meaning: temple on a glass cliff), also known as Wat Phra That Pha Son Kaeo is a Buddhist monastery and temple in Khao Kor, Phetchabun, in north-central Thailand, about 5 hours drive north of Bangkok. The Wat is set on an 830m peak, a few hundred meters from the town of Kheam Son on the main highway 12, between Phitsanulok and Lom Sak. Don't miss this superb scenic place. It has an awsome vibe and one can feel inner peace after seeing such a unique Buddha statue both within temple and outside as well. I have never ever seen similar Buddha image i.e. 5 sitting Budha statue, in my life. The temple walls and floors are fragmented with small beautiful tiles and ceramic + crystal ball work. Good view is an extra bonus, for sure. The main pagoda and surrounding buildings are adorned with over 5 million colorful mosaic tiles and pottery items and is set in a mountain location. There is a stained glass gazebo and a smaller pagoda in the gardens. Highly recommended temple in Thailand and stay there for 2 to 3 hours, to enjoy weather and rich temple architecture.traveltolalaland8

The Buddhist MonasteryOne of the most unique temples in Thailand is located Petchabun Province, and in our opinion, it’s one of the more beautiful ones. Wat Pha Sorn Kaew (วัดพระธาตุผาซ่อนแก้ว) translates to the temple on the glass cliff. The biggest draw is obviously the five seated white Buddhas layered from the largest at the back to the smallest at the front. This is located on one side of the road and there are a number of different angles to get great photos. Inside, under the statues, there is a small temple where offerings can be made. You need to take your shoes off and leave them on the rack at the entrance near the road, so flip flops or sandals are recommended. #temple #petchabun #buddhist #thailandMikayDC5

A very beautiful temple complex the Wat Phra That Pha Son Kaeo large and visible from afar. The top of the wat is well-kept and clean since it also attracts many tourists. Many and there is also a parking lot that can be crowded even though it is not exactly small. From the top you have a nice view. Worth a visit in everything. #urbanexplorerSuberry12

Wat Phra That Pha Sorn Kaew, PhetchabunPhetchabun is a province not as famous as other provinces in Thailand but Khao Kho in Phetchabun is quite well known for cool weather and nice mountainous tourist attraction. Wat Phra That Pha Sorn Kaew in Khao Kho looks like a tourist temple as they decorate the place with lots of beautiful details and they have spots for tourist photos. This video is taken when the Chief Monk spoke with visitors. A very beautiful temple having statues of 5 Buddha Lords. #WatPhraThatPhaSornKaew #khaokho #Phetchabun #ThailandTW2024

White Buddha hidden in the valleyHIDDEN AWAY HIGH UP IN the hills of north central Thailand, Wat Pha Sorn Kaew is a Dharma retreat for monks and Buddhist followers. The mountaintop sanctuary, with a preaching hall, pagoda, and surrounding gardens, is a stunning design, one that expresses its architectural youthfulness. The site’s location at Khao Kho was chosen for its natural beauty, to inspire meditation. Set against the serenity of the mountains is the site’s most striking feature, the ice-white temple itself, representing the traditional five Buddhas who visited the Earth. The Buddhas are nested together in the meditation position, looking out over the valley. Each one is slightly larger than the one before, a modern and refreshing design with few hints of traditional Thai architecture.#northern #temple #khaokhoJum_Thitapa2
This is one of the best temple in Thailand. It’s a big place. Have many buildings with very special tiles. They use many pieces of ceramics to make the pillars, walls of the temple. it’s a very big Buddha statue. The surrounding air is cool. Does not look like you are in Thailand. They called it the Switzerland f Thailand. Temperature is cooling all year round. It’s in Petchabun.AlvinOng
The temple you have to visitThe only way you can get there is by car. The road is quite sloping and the traffic is not too good during weekends and holidays. However, you can’t miss this place because it is stunning.lillayr1

#Wat Pha Son Kaew During the time I went to be a festival worker, there were a lot of people because everyone wanted to see the beauty of Wat Pha Son Kaew. But I really regretted that I came because it was really beautiful, good atmosphere, surrounded by mountains. If anyone has come here, tell me. that I'm sure I'm fascinated. Cam back many more times. Of course, anyone who passes by to go Ya, forgot to stop by at Wat Pha Son Kaew at Khao Kho as well
Highlights of Phetchabun Province If you have plans to go to Thap Boek or Khao Kho, I recommend you to come and pay homage to the relics before your friends for good fortune before continuing the journey. The atmosphere is great If you come in the morning, it's even better.
Temple in the valley in the mist ☁️❄️ beautiful, beautiful, as the rumored ones 🙏🙏 Today, come to pay respects and make a wish 🙏🏻 worship #Wat Pha Sorn Kaew 🤍💜💚
The weather is cool and also made merit with the temple There are many souvenirs of the shop Pay respect to the relics for good luck for yourself and your family.
Every time I look at it ✨ The beauty of this temple lies at the largest 5 Buddha images and around the temple is decorated with mirrors. tiles shining very beautifully 🏔️🗻 The view here has a large mountain.สลับทับซ้อนกัน into a lined mountains around The temple area makes the weather good and the wind blows cool all year round. ***There is a cave at the top of the mountain as well 🏜️
