Description: |
|
This is without doubt the most unique temple in Thailand - the
200-year-old temple was crafted entirely from soil; brick,
concrete nor timber feature in its construction. The temple is
highly regarded locally and receives visits from people from
many districts in the province and beyond. Its history is
somewhat shrouded but a local legend suggests a wandering monk
asked villagers to construct Phra That Din Thaen and upon its
completion asked them to adhere to the Buddha's 5 moral
precepts. He also asked that the villagers should not kill
animals on Buddhist Holy Days - a custom that continues in to
this day. The temple is also site of a major festival in
November. Pilgrimages are made to site after which is night-long
entertainment. |
