Wat Ratchaburana, Phitsanulok

In 1463, King Boromma Trailokanat (1448-1488) of Ayutthaya moved the capital of his empire to Phitsanulok, and ordered the establishment of new temples, as well as the restoration of existing older ones.

At one time, King Mongkut (Rama IV) headed a construction and restoration project of the temple.

Also, in the nearby shrine, a very nice Sukhothai style Buddha figure is situated amidst red painted columns.

In addition, the shrine houses a showroom displaying old coins, bank notes, musical instruments and glass objects.

An old bell tower, Hor Rakhang, as well as a recently constructed shrine with a garden and six swan figures stand beside the monastery.
