Description: |

Chan Saen Ancient Town
and Chan Saen Museum is situated at Moo.2, Chan Saen
Sub-District. It has been presumed that in Dhavarnwadee period,
this ancient city is surrounded by square shaped molehills. And,
the city is enclosed again by the moat which is 20 meters wide.
These days there are still some ancient remains left to see at
the site. Chan Saen Ancient Town lies on the area of 1200 acres
where the city area nearby the molehills was called by the
locals by the name of ‘Koak Chan Saen’.
Many ancient evidences
were excavated from this area such as the pottery, clay doll,
Buddha image, while, some were made of stones, tins and bronzes.
All these ancient remains are very well taken care by Chan Saen
Museum which is located right inside Wat Chan Saen. This temple
was built by Phra Khru Nisai Jariyakoon or Luang Po Oat. He
willed to build Phra Mahathat Chedi in order to be a center of
the town and at the same time built the museum inside the temple
in order to display the history of Chan Saen. The next abbot,
Phra Khru Nivitthamkhan had been continued the museum project
until it completely finished by getting the fund from the
Buddhist believers.
Mondop Chedi of Chan Saen Ancient Town was built by Luang Po Oat
who passed away since 1989. He willed to construct Mondop Chedi
for the following reasons:
1. The ashes of the Buddha will be placed here at the top
of the Mondop. 2.
Luang Po Nak Buddha image from Lopburi will be placed inside the
Mondop. 3. The base
of Phra Maha Chedi is the place where the sculpture of him will
be lied and as well Chan Saen Museum.
The appearance of Phra
Mahathat Chedi was imitated from the stupa that was built during
Dhavarnwadee period. There is a stone inscription that inscribes
the details about history of Phra Mahathat Chedi Chan Saen. The
museum opens only on weekday. However, those who wanted to visit
the museum during week days can still come but you need to
contact directly to the temple and they will provide you a
volunteered tour guide from Wat Chan Saen and Chan Saen Aend
Suwananusorn.
Besides, there is a group of local female gathering together for
a silk weaving activity here and they as well produce the local
silk clothes for sale. |
