An atmosphere of peace prevailed on Saturday (May 2) at Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat in Phitsanulok, home to Phra Phuttha Chinnarat, considered one of the most beautiful and classical Buddha figures in Thailand.

Every morning citizens who are out exercising or travelling stop in front of the temple to pay their respects to the Phra Phuttha Chinnarat enshrined in the monastery.

Officials at the temple said that steel gate in front of the temple will be opened on Sunday (May 3) to allow people to worship a replica of the Phra Buddha Chinnarat.

“The temple implemented public health measures to contain the spread of Covid-19 virus, such as maintaining social distancing and providing alcohol gels and washbasin for people,” the officials said. “Meanwhile, the temple will be officially reopened on May 11.”
