Description: |
|
This temple is near Sawi River. It is 47 km. from the city
center along Highway No.41, Chumphon-Lang Suan route. According
to legend, Phra Chao Si Thamma Sokarat and his army took a rest
in Sawi District where they had strange experience. Albino crows
and other types of crows flocked together above the debris of a
ruined structure. His Majesty, therefore, issued an order to
remove the debris. After removing it, they found a large pagoda.
When they dug the ground deeper, they found a jar containing the
Buddha’s relics. So, His Majesty had his men build a new pagoda
over the old one. The construction could have taken place in the
Ayutthaya Era. In 1916 a repair was done. A new structure was
made over the old one. At the front of the temple next to Sawi
River stands a shrine where a human-size effigy is kept. People
in Sawi District call this shrine "San Phra Suea Mueang".
How to get there :
From Chumphon town centre, Drive along
highway No. 41 (Chumphon - Lang Suan district route)
