Description: |
|
The fish at WatKhoi have flourished for 50 years, since the time
of then-abbot PhrakhruSukitwichan (LuangphoKhem).
Later in 1985, PhrakhruSorakitchaton, the present abbot,
oversaw renovations, and with the help of the Amphoe Pho Thong
Fisheries office, declared the temple area a fish sanctuary.At
present, over 50,000 fish, ranging from carp to gourami, reside
in the waters near the temple. Fish foodis available for
visitors who wish to feed the fish.
In addition, the
temple itself contains an ancient Thai-style teak hall built on
eight-angle pillars. Here, many types of antiques are displayed,
such as Chinese sculling boats, Thai-style gondolas and more.
Aquaculture and agriculture equipment, antiques such as vintage
clocks and lamps from abroad, as well as furniture are also on
show.
The fish sanctuary and temple are located at Noi
River, Mu 1, Tambon Pho Rang Nok, 12 kilometers from Ang Thong
province. Take Ang Thong
- Wiset Chai Chan route, on Highway No. 3151 Km 27-28. Turn
right at the signboard of the Fish Park at Wat Khoi to take a
shortcut along an irrigation canal for approximately 2.3
kilometers. |
