Wat Pha Sorn Kaew (Thai:วัดผาซ่อนแก้ว; meaning: temple on a glass cliff), also known asWat Phra That Pha Son Kaeo (Thai:วัดพระธาตุผาซ่อนแก้ว), is aBuddhistmonastery and temple (Wat วัด in Thai) inKhao Kor, Phetchabun, in north-central Thailand, about 5 hours drive north ofBangkok. The Wat is set on an 830m peak, a few hundred meters from the town of Kheam Son on the main highway 12, betweenPhitsanulok and Lom Sak.
The mainpagoda and surrounding buildings are adorned with over 5 million colorfulmosaic tiles and pottery items and is set in a mountain location.[1] 5 sittingBuddhastatues were already finished. There is a stained glassgazebo and a smaller pagoda in the gardens.
The main Wat exterior, gardens and adjoining buildings are complete and open to visitors, although not all of the interior of the main temple is complete yet.[2]
Currently, there is no well-developed tourist infrastructure surrounding the site. It is only accessible by private car or tour, as there is no public transport from the nearest towns of Lom Sak, Phetchabun or Phitsanulok.[1]
There's a local bus from Phitsanulok which can stop about 2km from the temple (on highway 12). For more information ask at Karma home hostel in Phitsanulok.
