Wat Pa Pradu

Wat Pa Pradu is the oldest Buddhist temple in Rayong Province, constructed in the Ayuttaya period. Located in the heart of Rayong, it’s easily reached by tuk-tuk.

Wat Pa Pradu is home to a huge reclining Buddha statue lying on its left side, which is really different from the normal position of a reclining Buddha in Indochina. This difference makes the image highly revered amongst local people.

Adjacent to the temple grounds, there is a market, called Wat Lum Market, that tourists can observe the daily life of locals. Also the laid-back houses and colorful stalls of the market bring tourists back to the past.
