Description: |

Phra Phrom Shrine (Phra Phrom or Brahma in Hinduism) is one of
the sacred places in Prachuap Khiri Khan, especially respected
by villagers living in Khao Takiap (Takiep Hill). The shrine is
on Khao Sanamchai, Nong Kae, Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan. It is
located 5 kilometers away in the west of Muang Hua Hin. Phra
Phrom Shrine is open daily for faithful visitors to worship or
take an oath here.
The transportation is quite convenient. From Hua Hin, drive
along Petchkasem Road until reach Soi Hua Hin 91. Enter the Soi,
and go on for about 200 meters, you will see the entrance sign.
Then, turn right, visitor will find the entry to Phra Phrom
Shrine. Observably, along two sides of the street lies orderly
delicate heart-shaped fences. On the right stands the statue of
Kwan Yin Goddess. The
history of Phra Phrom Shrine has it that… Dr.Pussadee Jitchum
began to renovate the shrine for the first time in 1987, until
it finished in 1999. Inside enshrines the statue of
4-faced Phra Phrom turning to 4 different directions. The
style of the shrine resembles the garden, the space is all
connected and can be walked through easily. This allows the
pleasant atmosphere, and cool breeze to flow through the area.
Its structure also symbolizes didactic concept; 4 pools in 4
sides of the shrine signifies 4 typical elements: earth, water,
air, and fire. Interestingly, there are 4 written boards telling
the history of the 4 pools beside each of them as well.
Moreover, since the front of the shrine has faced the sea, and
the other 3 sides are surrounded by mountains, tourists can
enjoy a terrific landscape of the beach, and admire a view of
Hua Hin town as well. |
