It houses a huge Sukhothai-style reclining Buddha image, which is revered by the Local people and renowned for its large size, almost 46 meters long.
Wat Phra Non Chakkrasi Worawihan is a royal Temple of the third class. It is believed that the temple predates the Ayutthaya Kingdom. Inside the Wihan (or image hall), a large reclining Buddha image is enshrined. This beautiful Sukhothai-styled Buddha image is almost 50 metres long and faces the north.
The other two Buddha images are Phra Kan, a gilded stone image, and Phra Kaeo, a seated image in the diamond throne posture. The two sacred images are said to have beautiful features. They were built during the reign of King Rama V to be used as the principal images at oath of allegiance ceremonies for civil servants. In front of the hall are cannonball trees.
The temple is nice and walking around the man made water feature to see the standing Buddha is very nice also. The reclining Buddha is the high light of the temple.

The Trans-Siberian Railway is the world’s longest single continuous rail line, spanning about 9,289 kilometers from Moscow to Vladivostok across eight time zones, vast taiga forests, steppe, mountains, and 16 major rivers.
Construction began in 1891 under Tsar Alexander III, with Tsarevich Nicholas II laying the first stone in Vladivostok. The project aimed to unite the Russian Empire, boost trade with Asia, and develop Siberia’s resources.
Built in sections from both ends amid harsh terrain and permafrost, the full Russian route (avoiding earlier Manchurian shortcuts) was completed in 1916. It later supported Soviet industrialization, World War II logistics, and remains a key passenger and freight corridor operated by Russian Railways.
The premier service is the Rossiya train number 001/002, a comfortable firmeny train with renovated carriages featuring air conditioning, power outlets, USB ports, and showers in some cars. It offers first-class (two-berth), second-class kupe (four-berth), and...
