Wat Nang Phaya วัดนางพญา , Si Satchanalai

Wat Nang Phaya (GPS: 17.42918, 99.78816; Thai: วัดนางพญา ) is the ruins of a Thai Buddhist temple in Si Satchanalai, Thailand. Its name means Temple of the Queen. It holds the distinction of having some of the finest stucco work that is still visible in Si Satchanalai.

As with most of the temples in Si Satchanalai, Wat Nang Phaya occupies a rectangular compound enclosed by a laterite wall punctuated with entraces at each cardinal direction. There is a viharn, or what's left of it, with an empty pedestal where a Buddha statue was once there. Behind the viharn is the main stupa, which rises from a square base, and has a flight of stairs leading.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
