Wat Lokayasutharam is a monastery situated behind Wat Suanluangsopsawan and next to Wat Worachettharam. You can reach the monastery by the road inside the compound of the Distillery Plant, or through the road behind the Phlapphla Trimuk (three-gabled roof pavilion).
The reclining Buddha itself is quite spectacular, quite different from the other ruins and temples in the area. The statue, which is made from brick and covered with plaster, is absolutely enormous; approximately 37 meters long and 8 meters high. The statue, the second largest reclining Buddha in Thailand after the reclining statue in Bangkok, faces east and is the images of Phra Budhasaiyart.
There are several large ruined hexagonal pillars near the image, which are believed to be the ruins of the Ubosot.
The image was restored in 1954 funded and again in 1989 by Lady Rabiab Dhamrongnahwahsawat and family to dedicate the merit to a former Prime Minister of Thailand.
