Home to over 200 Buddhist temples, Ang Thong is a province that has more to offer than you might think. Considered as one of the lesser-visited cities to Ayutthaya, Ang Thong is a great hidden gem for those who are looking to escape the tourist crowds of Bangkok and Ayutthaya.
Ang Thong is also home to one of the largest Buddha images in the country, the golden seated Buddha image at Wat Muang, where you can see it towering over the rice fields of Ang Thong from miles away.
If you are looking to get off the beaten path in Thailand and see some stunning Buddhist architecture, Ang Thong is a great destination for you. Without further ado, let's take a look at the overview itinerary of Ang Thong and a complete things-to-do map.

At the southern edge of Ang Thong province, you will find another old and highly revered Reclining Buddha Image at Wat Pa Mok Worawihan.

10 Best Things to Do in Ang Thong 1. Visit Wat Muang and its Massive Buddha Statue
One of the largest Buddha images in Thailand is right here in Ang Thong, and it is one of the most stunning sights you will see here. From miles away, you will see The Great Buddha of Thailand and its blindingly gold reflection of the 92m high Buddha Image, all surrounded by rich green rice fields and tall palm trees.
The Great Buddha of Thailand at Wat Muang was completed in 2008 and has since become the most popular landmark in Ang Thong. It took over 18 years to complete, with only donation money from believers and pilgrims. It is said to have had a budget of over 100,000,000 THB!
The investment is well-founded, though, as you will see when you stand in front of it and look up at the gigantic Buddha Image. They really constructed the image to perfection. From the consistently golden colors all around the image to the perfectly symmetrical dimensions of the statue, and just the pure scale of it all, it is mind-blowing.
No time to read?
Don't worry. You can save this page to Pinterest and come back later.
If you are staying at Smile Resort, as I did, you can opt in for a bicycle ride through the backroads of Ang Thong and visit Wat Muang in the morning. The backroads along the rice fields are quite peaceful and scenic, especially in the early morning.
Now, if you have a drone, I highly recommend visiting in the early morning as there won't be as many people around, and you can fly around as much as you like. Just be sure to keep your drone's distance away from the big statue and be very careful not to crash it.
Within the temple, you will also find several gruesome scenes straight from the Buddhist version of hell, with statues of humans being tortured in all kinds of ways - from being tossed into the bronze cauldron to boil in eternal damnation's hellfire, to humans being forced to climb the thorn-covered tree naked.
If you see this, you are definitely in the Hell Park of Wat Muang, which depicts all kinds of hellish scenarios of the afterlife if you don't make good merit in this life. It's one of the ways Buddhism teaches people to behave in society.
It's funny how certain things like cigarettes and guns are censored on Thai television, and yet, these tortured scenes of hell are perfectly fine for kids to wander around 😅.
There is no entrance fee to the temple, so you are free to enter whenever you like. If you want to avoid the crowds, visit as early in the morning as you can and avoid visiting on weekends.

2. Stroll Around the San Chao Rong Thong Vintage Market
Not too far from Wat Muang, you will find San Chao Rong Thong Vintage Market, a 100-year-old market where the lives of the people along this portion of the Chao Praya River are preserved and the wooden architecture is maintained.
There aren't a whole lot of things to buy from the market except street food here and there since the market has always been catered to the locals living around this area instead of tourists, and with that, the lives of the locals are preserved in a way that other old markets can't.
With my camera, I walked around the crisscrossing streets of San Chao Rong Thong Vintage Market, observing and photographing the simple lifestyle of the people around the area. From the old-style barber to a very friendly tailor guy, I captured photos of him and his old house.
If you have seen old markets in Thailand before, you might find San Chao Rong Thong Vintage Market a little different and more interesting, as you will get to see the real-life of the people living there for ages, instead of the more tourist-inspired old markets elsewhere. As a travel photographer, I definitely found the market more interesting 😉.
Spend about an hour and walk around the market. By the river, you will also find an old-style river crossing station attached with a ferry and a cable. It looked abandoned when I was there, so I'm not sure if the locals are still using it, but it sure was interesting to see.
3. Admire the beauty of Phra Tamnak Kham Yat Ruin
On the outer rim of Ang Thong province, you will find an Ayutthaya-era ruin called Phra Tamnak Kham Yat, which is an old royal pavilion constructed in the 18th century as a temporary residence for King Borommakot of Ayutthaya to attend the reclining Buddha at Wat Khun In Phramun, where we will also be visiting next.
Phra Tamnak Kham Yat Ruin is a great example of how far and wide the Ayutthayan reign was back in the day. The four walls of the pavilion are still intact, and you can still see some of the window decorations on the outside of the walls.
ume it's open all day. The temple is located on a hill and offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding area. There are also several Buddha statues and beautiful gardens to explore. Overall, Phra Tamnak Kham Yat is a hidden gem in Ang Thong and definitely worth a visit.

4. Visit Wat Khun Inthapramun and Pay Respect at its Outdoor Reclining Buddha Image
After visiting Phra Tamnak Kham Yat, you can continue east and visit Wat Khun Inthapramun, home to one of the few outdoor reclining Buddha images left in Thailand.
Wat Khun Inthapramun and the 50m long reclining Buddha image are one of the most revered and oldest temples in Ang Thong. It was built during the Sukhothai reign in the 13th-14th Century, and people from all over the country come to pay respect to the reclining Buddha image.
Originally, the Buddha image was housed inside a temple, but due to a fire that exposed the statue to the elements, it was left abandoned for hundreds of years before being rediscovered and revered to this day. Three kings, from Ayutthaya to the previous Rama IX, have paid homage to this Buddha statue.
Legend has it that Wat Khun Inthapramun is named after a revenue officer who secretly embezzled from the government to build the Buddha statue. When the king asked where he got the money, he refused to answer, as he feared that the King would get all the credit for building it. Consequently, he was sentenced to death by the king.
The temple is free to enter, and it opens from 6 AM to 6 PM every day. There's plenty of parking here, but I recommend you don't park at the first parking lot you find. Drive closer to the reclining Buddha statue, and there will be more parking for you inside.
5. Scale the Wat Tha's Golden Pagoda
Not too far from Wat Khun Inthapramun, you will find a golden pyramid-like pagoda at Wat Tha It temple, where you can climb and enjoy a nice view of the landscape of Ang Thong.
The golden pyramid-like pagoda consists of 7 floors, all designed to emit different colors of light. The climb itself is pretty easy, and the view at the top is quite nice. However, the windows don't open all the way, so you would have to sneak your camera out to be able to take some photos. From here, you can see The Great Buddha of Thailand.
It's free to enter and scale the pagoda of Wat Tha It. The temple is open from 6 AM - 6 PM. You won't find as many people here as elsewhere, and the road to the temple is very narrow, so be extra careful when driving here. The temple itself is worth a visit only if you are already at Wat Khun Inthapramun as it is only a few kilometers away.
6. Explore the Overgrown Banyan Temple at Wat Sang Kratai
After exploring the outer part of Ang Thong, it is time to see what's there to do in Ang Thong City. One of the most popular landmarks in Ang Thong City is Wat Sang Kratai, an old overgrown temple with three Banyan tree roots supporting the structure.
Inside Wat Sang Kratai, you will find a few Buddha images where locals like to come and pay respect. It's beautiful inside with the Banyan trees on three corners of the structure and the overgrown roots stretching their ways out, supporting the very structure you are standing in. Nature always finds a way.
Wat Sang Kratai, like most active worship places outside of touristy areas, is free to enter. The temple has no opening and closing time, so you can probably visit anytime you want.
7. Be Amazed at the Giant Sitting Buddha Image at Wat Chaiyo Worawihan
At the northern edge of Ang Thong province, you will find another revered temple, Wat Chaiyo Worawihan, which is home to a sacred seated Buddha image housed inside a temple.
It is a popular place for locals to come and pay respect to the Buddha image and take photos with the revered statue. There is also an old market in front of the temple where you can buy snacks and food before you hit the road again.
Wat Chaiyo Worawihan opens from 7 AM to 5 PM, and it is free to enter. Be sure to spend some time exploring the temple grounds and checking out the view of the Chao Praya River behind the temple.
8. Walk Around the Old Market at Maharat Buddhist Park
Maharat Buddhist Park is technically in Ayutthaya province, but since you are driving from Bangkok to Ang Thong, it is a no-brainer to stop here before you continue your journey to/from Ang Thong.
Maharat Buddhist Park is a newly built park consisting of a large golden statue of Luong Phor Tuad, a very revered monk in Thailand, an old-school Thai traditional market selling all kinds of Thai traditional foods and desserts, and a whole slew of things for Buddhists to participate in.
You will love the old market here as you will find plenty of options available for food and snacks. There are also plenty of seating areas under shade, and you will get to see some Thai traditional performances from the locals while enjoying your food.
Maharat Buddhist Park opens from 7 AM - 5 PM, and it is free to enter. If you are there on the weekends, you will have to be a bit patient when it comes to finding a parking space. There are a lot of parking spaces, but due to its proximity to the highway and Bangkok, Maharat Buddhist Park attracts a lot of local tourists as well.
9. Pay Respect to the Revered Reclining Buddha Image at Wat Pa Mok Worawihan
At the southern edge of Ang Thong province, you will find another old and highly revered Reclining Buddha Image at Wat Pa Mok Worawihan. This reclining Buddha image is smaller and receives fewer tourists than the one at Wat Khun In Phramun, but it is still a nice place to visit, especially if you are on your way from Bangkok to Ang Thong.
The reclining Buddha image of Wat Pa Mok Worawihan is 23 meters long and is housed inside a temple that is believed to have been built in the Sukothai period from the 13th to the 14th Century.
According to local legends, this Buddha image was swept from an unknown source along the Chao Phraya River, and the locals were able to recover it and enshrine it by the riverbank of Chao Phraya River where it was discovered.
As the river bank shifted, the image was then moved to the current location and integrated into a nearby temple to become Wat Pa Mok Worawihan. The temple opens from 7 AM to 5 PM, and entry is free.
10. Check Out the Big Seated Buddha Image at Wat Tonson
Wat Tonson is another old temple located on the riverbank of the Chao Praya River, home to one of the country's first and largest metal Buddha statues, revered by many.
Stories have it that the temple was built in the Ayutthaya era in the 18th Century. However, due to its lack of venerable objects like other temples, it was almost deserted until a former leading abbot of Ang Thong started expanding the temple in 1945 and constructing the seated Buddha image that the locals have come to revere.
Unfortunately, when I was there, the Buddha image was still under renovation, so it may not look as impressive in my photos here. The temple opens from 7 AM - 5 PM, and again, it is free to enter.
What to Eat and Drink in Ang Thong? 1. Have Lao Coffee at the Lao Cafe
If you are looking for a nice cafe with the best view in Ang Thong, The Lao Cafe is the best place to be. I often frequent here for breakfast and just a relaxed afternoon with a glass of iced Lao coffee and butter and sugar toasts.
The Lao Cafe is located off the highway, but due to its location, you will be able to see the Great Buddha of Thailand statue facing perfectly at the outdoor seating area of the cafe from across the rice fields.
It is probably the best view of the Great Buddha of Thailand statue, as you are far enough to comprehend the scale of the Buddha image statue in relation to the rest of the surrounding landscape.
Plus, they serve delicious, sweet, and strong Lao-style coffee, breakfast, and lunch. They also have an air-conditioned area for those who are looking to escape the afternoon heat of Ang Thong. The Lao Cafe is hands down the perfect place to slow down your trip, sit back, relax, and enjoy the greatest landmark of Ang Thong.
The Lao Cafe is open from 8 AM to 7:30 PM every day. There are some parking spaces inside the cafe area, but if it gets crowded, you will have to park along the side of the road. The cost of coffee is fairly affordable, at around 60 - 80 THB per drink.
2. Eat the Prawn Pad Thai at Niramit Restaurant
Another popular restaurant among locals is Niramit Restaurant, where they serve all kinds of delicious Thai dishes at a fairly affordable price. Niramit Restaurant is known for its prawn and other seafood dishes, which are great if you are in a big group and can share many seafood dishes among your friends.
If you are a solo traveler like me, you can also get the Prawn Pad Thai dish for one, which was delicious and only 50 THB. The prawns are huge and juicy, and the Pad Thai seasoning was sprinkled with spice to get your taste buds going.
They have a few parking spots at the restaurant, or you can park at Wat Nang Nai Thammikaram's parking lot, explore San Chao Rong Thong Vintage market, and then just walk to Niramit Restaurant. Niramit Restaurant opens from 10 AM to 8 PM.
3. Have Thai-Style Steak at the DR. STEAK Restaurant
Last but not least, if you are staying at Smile Resort like I did and are looking for a restaurant nearby to have dinner, DR. STEAK Restaurant, located only a 10-minute walk away from the resort, is a great choice for you.
DR. STEAK Restaurant, as the name suggests, serves Thai-style steaks which often come with a steak of your choosing, a small portion of salad, and buttered bread. You can also indulge yourself in Thai-traditional desserts and drinks that go really well with their steaks.
The cost of steaks here varies from 70 - 200 THB depending on the type of steak you want. The restaurant is located along the main road. It opens from 9 AM to 9 PM. There are a few parking spaces in front of the restaurant but you can also park along the road, no problem.

When to Visit Ang Thong, Thailand?
The best time to visit Ang Thong is from November to January, when the weather is cooler and less humid due to Thailand's climate, making it much more enjoyable to ride a scooter or walk around.
That said, Thailand has suffered a lot from air pollution in recent years due to the burning season, and it is extremely prevalent during Thailand's winter period (December - January). So, even though the weather is cooler, your visibility might not be the best. Be sure to buy a face mask if you decide to visit Thailand during this time.
March - April are the hottest and most humid periods of the year, so if you can't handle heat very well, avoid visiting during this time. The air quality may be a bit better during this time, though it's not guaranteed.
All the other months are considered to be a rainy season, which, even though the weather is a little more manageable than the summer months, you will also be seeing a lot more rain which might prevent you from enjoying the outdoors. Air quality during this time should be better due to the rain.
As you can see, the best time to visit Thailand used to be during its wintertime. HOWEVER, now that the air quality is getting worse and worse, you will have to decide which is more important to you as a traveler: good weather but bad air quality, or vice versa.
Ang Thong is located 105 km north of Bangkok, and in order to get from abroad to Ang Thong, you will first have to get yourself to Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand. Thankfully, Bangkok is a major hub in Southeast Asia, and so there are several ways you can get to the city from where you live, as follows:
From the US, unfortunately, there are no direct flights to Bangkok, so you will have to rely on transit flights by Emirates, Qatar, or Turkish Airlines from the East Coast or ANA Airlines or Korean Air from the West Coast.
From Europe, you can fly from the most popular European hubs like London, Paris, or Frankfurt via Thai Airways or local carriers such as British Airways, Air France, or Lufthansa to Bangkok. You can also go with Etihad, Qatar, or Emirates if you don't mind transiting.
From within Asia, there are several low-cost airlines offering numerous routes from various hub cities such as Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, Jakarta, to Bangkok. AirAsia and Thai Lion Air are excellent low-cost options.
To find a cheap flight to Bangkok, I would recommend using Skyscanner or Expedia to look for the cheapest route and schedule so you can compare and pick the best one.
NOTE: If you are planning to follow this itinerary, I would recommend that you skip this section and, instead, go and rent a car from Bangkok following my instructions under and drive from Bangkok straight to Ang Thong, as you won't find many options for car rental places in Ang Thong City.
For those who are just looking for a way to get to Ang Thong via public transport, you can continue on and follow the instructions below to take a bus to Ang Thong.
To get a bus/van, you will have to take a minivan from the Mini-Bus stand across the road from the Morchit Bus Terminal.
You can reach Morchit Bus Terminal from almost anywhere in Bangkok via either the MRT station Kamphaeng Phet or BTS Morchit station and then from there, you can take a taxi to Morchit Bus Terminal. The taxi should cost no more than 50 THB.
Once you arrive at the Morchit bus terminal, cross the road to the mini-bus stand with the footbridge and go to Building B to buy your ticket at one of the kiosks inside. Once you arrive at Building B, the people and the kiosks will direct you to the right one. Just tell them that you want to go to Ang Thong and you should be on your way.
The mini-bus and vans from Bangkok to Ang Thong leave every hour from 5 AM to 9 PM every day. The journey will take around 2 hours, and the ticket will cost about 80 - 120 THB. When you buy your ticket, they will ask you where you want to get dropped off.
You do not have to reserve your ticket beforehand, as Ang Thong doesn't get as many tourists as other places. But for peace of mind, you can browse through some of the available options with the link below:
Book a Bus from Bangkok to Ang Thong
How to Get Around Ang Thong Province, Thailand?As with most lesser-traveled provinces in Thailand, tourist attractions are scattered throughout the province with no way to get there but with your own vehicle. This is also the case here in Ang Thong, and I recommend you rent a car before you embark on this journey.
Renting a Car to Explore Ang Thong
Now, if you want to rent a car to explore Ang Thong, you won't find many options within Ang Thong city itself as it isn't a big city. So, I would recommend you rent a car straight from Bangkok and drive to Ang Thong yourself.
You can rent a car in Bangkok from Rentalcars.com, where you can pick up from either the Suvarnabhumi Airport or Don Muang Airport. Don Muang Airport is on the way to Ang Thong, so maybe picking up there is a better option.
The car rental price in Bangkok ranged from 790 THB to 1500 THB per day. Hit the link below to browse through available car options to drive to Ang Thong.
Rent a Car in Bangkok
To rent a car in Thailand, you will need a valid driving license (foreign driving license is fine), a 3,000~ THB deposit (you will get it back when you return the car), and all you have to do is fill out the form, set up a pick-up/drop-off time and place, and you are on your way.
How Many Days Do I Need For Ang Thong?
With your own vehicle, you will only need 2 days (1 night) maximum to see all the attractions I have listed in this guide. Here is a breakdown of the 2-day Ang Thong itinerary.
Day 1: Driving from Bangkok, you can stop at Wat Pa Mok Worawihan and Maharat Buddhist Park along the way. Stop by the temples in the city like Wat Tonson and go all the way up to Wat Chaiyo Worawihan, Wat Sang Kratai, Wat Khun Inthapramun, and Wat Tha It before retreating for the day.
Day 2: Visit Wat Muang in the early morning, stroll around San Chao Rong Thong Vintage Market, and visit Phra Tamnak Kham Yat before driving back to Bangkok.
How Much Money Do I Need For Ang Thong?With this 2-day Ang Thong itinerary above, we can roughly calculate how much you will be spending on this trip as follows:
Accommodation: For 1 night of accommodation in Ang Thong, you can expect to pay around 19 USD.
Food: Food in Ang Thong should cost around 40 - 60 THB per meal, so you can expect to pay around 200 THB for 2 days in Ang Thong province.
Transportation: For a 2-day car rental (1600 THB) plus gas (~600 THB), you can expect to pay around 2,200 THB for transportation.
Activities: All of the destinations I listed here are free to enter, so you do not have to pay anything for activities.
Total Budget for 2 days in Ang Thong province: 2,994 THB (95.78 USD).
Is it Safe in Ang Thong?Since you will be driving most of the time, the thing to worry about is the road. As some of you may know, Thai drivers aren't the best in the world, with lots of fast pick-up trucks and container trucks sharing the road. So, be sure to be extra vigilant when you are driving in Thailand.
Which tourist SIM card is best for Thailand?Update: If your phone supports eSIM, I highly recommend checking out Airalo, a global eSIM marketplace. It allows you to stay connected affordably while traveling in Ang Thong, Thailand without having to switch out your physical SIM card.
Gone are the days when you needed to scramble to find a local SIM card at an airport upon arrival. You can purchase an eSIM before your arrival, and you'll be good to go. If your phone doesn't support eSIM, here is how you can get a local SIM card in Ang Thong, Thailand:
There are 3 major carriers in Thailand: AIS, DTAC, and True, all of which offer a pretty similar range of traveler's packages as well as coverage. I personally use AIS as I have been with them since my first phone, and they have a lot of Support Centers around Thailand. Their coverage hasn't failed me yet, so if you are looking for a reliable carrier, I can recommend AIS.
There are 3 packages for tourists: 5 GB for 5 days at 160 THB, 15 GB for 8 days at 299 THB, and 30 GB for 15 days. Depending on how long your trip to Thailand will be, you can pick one of these 3 packages that fit your itinerary the most.
With these three packages, you can top up more in case you need additional data or calls for your trip. More often than not, 5 GB is more than enough for me to travel around Thailand for a month.
