Description: |
|
Located at Wat Lum Mahachai Chumpon on Taksin Road, the shrine
was built to commemorate King Taksin the Great, who freed and
saved Siam (former Thailand) from the ancient Burmese invasion.
He had stopped here in Rayong during his rally to liberate the
Kingdom of Ayutthaya from the ancient Burmese army. The legend
has it that King Taksin the Great’s elephant was stabled at a
large Parkia tree, which is in front of the shrine. This is a
well-regarded place locals and Chinese visitors come to pray for
lucks, especially during Chinese New Year and on December 28th,
which is King Taksin Day.
