Wat Phai Rong Wua is an awe-inspiring site located in Tambon Bang Ta Then, Thailand. This sprawling temple complex was built by a monk called Luang Phor Khom, who transformed the area over the course of 50 years. His vision included the world's largest cement Buddha statue, surrounded by numerous colorful and comic-book inspired scenes from the life of the Buddha. There is also an elaborate hell garden that exemplifies Phor Khom's religious pluralism and incorporates both Buddhist and Hindu iconography. The complex is home to a variety of animals, and visitors can venerate Luang Phor Khom in his transparent coffin. A visit to Wat Phai Rong Wua offers a unique and fun experience for all who wish to explore its wonders.
