Located on the northern bank of Khlong Samrong in Tambon Bang Phli Yai, not too far from Wat Bang Phli Yai Nai. It was constructed around 1824 and originally called Wat Klang before changing to Wat Rat Sattha Tham and eventually Wat Bang Phli Yai Klang.
The temple contains an immense reclining Buddha image of approximately 53 metres long known as Somdet Phra Sakayamuni Si Sumet Bophit. There are 4 stories inside the image itself. The Buddha is around 7 meters longer than the more famous image at Wat Pho in Bangkok.
The experience of climbing inside a huge Buddha like this is very unusual and after climbing up 4 stories inside the Buddha you reach the Buddha’s heart. There are also numerous paintings and other Buddha statues inside the massive structure.
The temple grounds has many other things to see like the ordination hall, massive Chedi that houses a sacred relic brought in from Sri Lanka and so much more. It is worth a few hours if your time to come and see this.

My Son Sanctuary, also known as Mỹ Sơn, stands as one of Vietnam’s most remarkable ancient sites and a powerful testament to the Champa Kingdom. Nestled in a serene, jungle-covered valley surrounded by mountains in Duy Xuyen District, Quang Nam Province, central Vietnam, the sanctuary lies roughly 40–50 kilometers southwest of the historic town of Hoi An and about 70 kilometers from Da Nang.
The Thu Bon River flows nearby, enhancing the site’s natural beauty and symbolic significance, as the valley was chosen to represent the mythical Mount Meru, the sacred center of the Hindu universe.
The history of My Son begins in the 4th century, when King Bhadravarman I established the first temples around 380–413 as a sacred religious center dedicated primarily to the Hindu god Shiva, worshipped here under the name Bhadreshvara.
