Wat Phra Mahathat in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand, is one of the most important and revered Buddhist temples in the country. It is known for its striking central stupa, Phra Borommathat Chedi, which stands at 55.78 meters high and is believed to house a relic of the Buddha. The stupa's distinctive Sri Lankan-style design makes it an architectural marvel. The temple complex includes various smaller chedis, viharns (prayer halls), and other structures adorned with intricate carvings and statues.
