What's cool about Thai temples is that each one is unique.
You can stumble upon one and if you stop and really LOOK at it, you see cool things. One that stands out for me personally is the one across from a place where I was eating breakfast at Fern Forest Cafe in Chiang Mai (Wat Dab Pai). I wandered inside and...there were millions of various colored mirrored tiles (tiny ones). It looked like the temple was decorated with Christmas ornaments in terms of color (red, blue, green, silver, gold). Outside, looks like a 'standard temple', like all the others, but inside with all those cool tile mosaics...incredible.

Paddy just a tip. You can create your own map(s) on Google Maps and add pins & notes, and categorize, etc.
Then benefit of this is that you only need to share 1 link to your map

So we just sold everything and are planning our first trip to Vietnam and Thailand as we speak. I have watched HUNDREDS OF VIDEOS at this point trying to find the most amazing sites in both countries so that we can maximize our three months in the region. This video is BY FAR the best video on temples. You have raised the bar so high, don't see anyone else hitting it ever. Well done my friend. Subscribed and I hope to learn more from your travels in the coming months!

My favorite temple is Wat Roi Phra Putthabat Phu Manorom in Mukdahan. I just have a thing for giant serpents, snakes and dragons. They are so epic, big and beautiful. All the temple are awesome. Can't go wrong with any of them. Thanks for the great video Paddy. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us next!

[ThailandThisWeek]

So many amazing and epic temples in Thailand. I want to visit them all! How do you even choose which ones are best? You have some great picks Paddy. Love all your videos. Looking forward to more.

[svetlana]

It's amazing how diverse all these temples are. Amazing, bewitching freedom of expression.
Your videos make my heart dream even more about a new trip to my beloved Thailand
Thank you so much, Paddy!

I've been to your number 1 temple in Phetchabun and I must admit, I was blown away, it's absolutely majestic, the white of the Buddha's pop against the green mountains, it's an architectural phenomenon, good pick Paddy🙏

[lyndalozner]

I agree with David Burt. I too am going to need a bigger bucket. So many beautiful places in Thailand

[coolcat]

Ive been to that one in ayutthaya and agree. The outside is relatively modest and then you are suddenly in that room with the enormous Buddha towering above you and hundreds of thais packed in shoulder to shoulder praying. Beautiful and awesome.

[melissafrye]

The diversity, the architecture, the artistry.... So lovely!

[Bob_In_Thailand]

Petchabun is such an underrated province for tourists. The temples as included in this video are spectacular and awe-inspiring. The landscapes in the Petchabun are just amazing. The weather in Petchabn is fantastic very moderate when considered to most other provinces. There are many decedents that originated from Vietnam in this province adding some diversity to its food culture

Great video with some very beautiful temples. My personal favourite, not on your list, is Wat Pa Phu Kon. Stunning blue temple with a white marble Buddha. Remote location so not easy to get to. Looking forward to your other top 10's.

[nickstravels]

I totally agree with your number one choice. It is 20 minutes from our home. There are some hidden rooms that you missed when you visited it. If you are ever here again try and join a tour by the head monk and you will get to see rooms full of millions of crystals and even a Miss Universe sceptre that was donated by a Thai Miss Universe. inside the 5 headed Buddha on the 3 floor there is also a crystal encrusted Buddha statue that is spectacular.

[connielinz]

I think you got it right, What Phrathat Phang Son Kaeo is definitely number 1 in my book too. It's the first temple I thought of when you said you were making a video on the Top 10 Temples 🙏😊

[davidcolinburt]

I've visited Doi Suthep in Chiang Mai and several wonderful locations in Ayutthaya. I'm going to need a bigger bucket -- The list has certainly grown after watching this video. I have a favourite beach in the world -- I wonder if that is going to show up in your upcoming video on the beaches. Thank you much, Mr Doyle. Always a joy to experience Thailand through all of your travels and work! dcb

This was great. I wish it would have been a Top 20 list. But I totally agree with you on the first choice in Petchabun. Absolutely stunning. I might have added in the White Temple in Chiang Rai, but I guess that is more of an art piece than a temple. Same with the Sanctuary of Truth in Pattaya. Art piece rather than actual temple. Interesting note on your #2 choice, in Ayutthaya. When I was there, there were signs posted around the entrance saying "thieves are active in the area. Please be aware of your belongings." Also, when I walked around the giant golden Buddha to the back of the statue, I saw a ginormous cockroach scurrying across the floor. So it sort of took points away from that temple. I really would have put Wat Arun in there near the top. It is my all time favorite temple in Bangkok, and probably my #2 in all Thailand after Wat Phrathat Phang Song Kao in Petchabun.

Great coverage of the temples Paddy, luckily we have visited most of them and agree that they are beautiful, each in their own way. One temple that does stand out for us is Wat Ban Rai which is in Nakhon Ratchasima province.
Wishing you well on your future adventures, keep up the good work!

[happypanda]

Good work Paddy ! Very useful for those travelling to Thailand and interested in visiting nice temples. Will refer to your provided links on my next visit to Thailand. Thanks !

[ioonthetube]

Great idea for a video; very enjoyable!

[ChilloutLars]

Superb presentation of the very best of the best Wats Paddy. Petchabun is extraordinary, set in a beautiful landscape. As for belief's, Buddhism is more about philosophy rather than a god or man/female worship. I think this philosophy is the essence and reflection of all the things we like in the majority of Thai people and Thai culture.
