Wat Ratchaburana and other Phitsanulok, Thailand Things to Do Tips

The most special thing about this temple s that it has a gold corn cob shaped prang(?) or chedi(?). Most that i've seen throughout Thailand so far are concrete or other material but this really stands out. It glitters for miles around, especially when you consider that nearby are all low rise buildings. Also, the gold Buddha image within the temple is set on a black background, making it look what i thought quite fashionable.
Most people visit this temple to offer prayers and such, and so miss out on taking in the beautiful structure of the temple. I 'slipped' in right to the very back of this temple and snapped this picture that you see here; i might be the only one to take a pic at that angle!

Directions: Just across the road from Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat. DO watch out for the fast-flowing traffic, and there didn't seem to be other safer means to get across the road.
