Description: |
|
Anyone who pass Angthong Province and would like to pray for
“good health and fresh life and body”, we suggest to pray from
Luang Pho Sod. Also there is a free vegetarian food for
Buddhists on Saturday and Sunday at Sala Virat Kanchana Sakka
Sopan. Wat Chan Tarangsee’s area covers two sides of the
road. On the east side, there is a sacred Buddha statue. People
called this “Luang Pho Yoke”. And the west side of the road is
Phra Maha Vihan Chaturamook Phra Mongkol Thep Munee (Luang Pho
Sod). It is the world’s biggest statue. The total statue was
built from metal covered with gold. It is 6 meters and 9 inches
wide and 9.9 meters high. The construction started in 1996 by
Phra Tham Rattanakorn, the assistant abbot of Wat Paknam Pasi
Charoen. Moreover, he built the statue of Guan Yim with thousand
hands. It is 5 meters and 8 inches high and was made from giant
scented wood from China. The statue was imported and located
here on 15 March 2009.
Wat Chan Tarangsee is in Baan Na,
Moo 9, Hua Pai Sub-District. From the 49th km. of Asia Route,
turn left to the Rural Road (5042) for 3 kilometers or go
straight and turn left to Muang District of Angthong Province
for about 1 kilometer. Turn left at the temple’s name sign and
continue driving for about 1 kilometer. |
