About Wat Thettharamnawa (Wat Tha Sai)
Why it’s worth a visit
Wat Thettharamnawa (Wat Tha Sai) – usually known simply as Wat Tha Sai amongst locals – is a true masterpiece of Thai architecture! Unlike most temples in Thailand, which are built from concrete and ornate tiles, this structure is made entirely of intricately carved wood.
