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

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
