Description: |
|
Only 500 meters from the Tako pond popular for the water sports,
this temple was formerly known as Wat Phlapphla Chai Chana
Songkhram as it was built to commemorate King Naraesuan the
Great’s victory over Burma. After a while, a large bronze Buddha
image in the gesture of subduing Mara with open eyes built in
Sukhothai style was taken to be the principal image of phra
ubosot here. The image, known as Luangpho To, later became very
popular and highly respected among large group of people until
today. A great time to visit is during the annual Yon Bua or Rap
Bua Festival which takes place one day before the full moon of
the 11th lunar month. Luangpho To will be taken in a boat along
the canal for people to pay some respect. Tips, there’s also an
old market along the canal nearby the temple with lots of good
food and souvenirs.
