Chula Mani Temple

Chula Mani Temple is a historically rich site in Phitsanulok, believed to have been the original center of the city during the Khmer period. The complex includes intriguing vestiges from its past, notably a beautiful laterite temple ruin adorned with exquisite stucco friezes depicting swans. While a modern temple building exists on the grounds, the primary draw is the ancient ruins and the sense of history they evoke. The site is well-maintained and offers a tranquil escape, often with few visitors.
