Wat Phra Bat Huay Tom is located at Moo 8, Tambol Na Sai, Amphoe
Lhee, Lamphun. Regarded as the biggest temple in Lhee, it is
also the most important temple in Phra Bat Huay Tom Karen’s
village.
The fine architecture of the temple comes from
the development by a well-known monk named
KrubaChaiyaWongsaPattana. He led the renovation and had many new
buildings constructed in the compound. It can be said that the
temple owes him a great deal.
Wat Phra Bat Huay Tom is
another temple in Lamphun that houses the footprint of Lord
Buddha. It is housed inside the vihara which
KrubaChaiyaWongsaPattana had it constructed. The temple is
flocked by tourists coming to visit the footprint everyday.
Apart from the vihara, the temple also has many interesting
attractions, for example, Vihara Phra Mueng Keaw in which the
body of KrubaChaiyaWongsaPattana lies; the pagoda called 84,000
Phra Dharma Khan, a gigantic golden pagoda which is surrounded
by 8 small pagodas; Mondop Phra Chao Kao Teu which house a
bronze Buddha image in the attitude of subduing Mara; and Mondop
Phra Buddhabat Kop which house the footprint of Lord Buddha on
the frog-like stone.
Near the temple compound is Phra
Maha That Chedi Sri Vieng Chai, the mock pagoda of Shwedagon
Pagoda in Myanmar, also constructed due to the order of
KrubaChaiyaWongsaPattana. It is another popular destination
among visitors.
Visitors can visit the temple via Highway
No. 106. When reaching the 46th – 47th kilometer, turn at the
junction and go further for about 5 kilometers. In front of the
temple stands the monument of KrubaChaiyaWongsaPattana.
The temple opens everyday from 8 a.m. – 4.30 p.m. The admission
is free. |
