Description: |
|
Wat Kai is an ancient temple during the Ayuttaya Kingdom then it
was abandoned after the fall of Ayuttaya. In year 1992, there
was a group of monk who came and founded a priest house here. In
year 1997, this temple was offered to the monks and was named
“Wat Kai” (meaning chicken) since there have been a lot of
chickens died from plague here.
There are also many
monkeys in this temple but they are tame and friendly. It was
not clear about the exact time they started to live here.
Another interesting thing in this temple is the Buddha image
named “Luang Por Yai”. This Buddha image is believed to be a
sacred one to relieve sickness. Moreover, there is also the Pra
Sangkatchai or “Ta Pae” which the villagers believed to bring
fortune. If their wishes are granted, they usually come back and
feed the monkeys in this temple as the vow redeeming.
Wat
Kai is located at Tambol Hunsang, Amphur Bangpahan, 25
kilometers away from the central Ayuttaya. Follow the national
route 32 and you will see the entrance. Go straight inside for
600 meters and you will see a monkey sign at the entrance.
