Wat Intharawihan or Wat Intharavihan (Thai: วัดอินทรวิหาร) is located in the Phra Nakhon District of Bangkok, Thailand It is noted for its 32 metres (105 ft) high standing Buddha statue known as Luang Pho To or “Phra Si Ariyamettrai” that was erected on the inspiration of the still highly revered abbott Somdej Toh.
The temple has an ordination hall called the Ubosot (prayer hall) also known linguistically as Bod. Its architecture reflects the style followed during the Ayutthaya Kingdom. It was refurbished in 1982. Italian marble is used to decorate the lower part of the hall and the walls are decorated with traditional paintings.
Devotees who visit the temple for worship offer mackerel, a boiled egg and a garland of flowers which they place with reverence at the foot of the Buddha image.
