Description: |
|
According to venerated monk and historian Luangpu Chaimongkon,
this temple was built by a local family during the last years of
the Sukhothai era, between 1319 and 1327. However, the temple
was abandoned, and quickly became overgrown with vegetation.
Over 100 years later, hunters establishing a small village
renovated the temple. It is believed that the laterite Buddha
image belonging to Wat Ban Phran, named Luangpho
Kraithong, was built by a Sukhothai king. It is said that
on special nights, the robe and shoulder cloth belonging to the
statue sparkles – a sign of good fortune for any who witness it.
In addition, the statue is thought to be able to protect its
worshippers from danger. The temple is located at Mu 1,
Tambon Si Phran, Amphoe Sawaeng Ha. To get there, take Pho
Thong- Sawaeng Ha route (Highway No. 3054) and turn into the
temple at Km 21-22. The temple is open daily from 8.00
am-5.00 pm. |
