Description: |
|
This Buddhist temple is located at the foot of Rap Ro Hill,
which was once a port area in ancient times. Many Buddha images
can be admired in Tham Phra, a nearby cave. The meditation area
at another cave, Tham Ai Te, has an interesting wall fresco
painting of a reclining Buddha.
Meanwhile, there are also
beautiful stalactites and stalagmites in Tham Sai within the
temple. It contains what is believed to be a footprint left by
the Buddha and the body of a revered monk, Luang Pu Sai, which
is said never to have decayed. Nearby is the local museum with
collections of ancient artifacts found in the temple. Another
highlight are the intricate leather shadow puppets created by
local artisans.
Situated in Tambon Tha Kham, Wat Thep
Charoen is 4 kilometers from Phetkasem Road (Highway 4) at Km
490.
The temple is open to visitors daily from 8.00 am-5.00
pm. |
