Description: |
|
The PhanthaiNorasing Shrine was constructed in memory of
PhanthaiNorasing, a
legendary coxswain of the Ekkachai royal barge, noted for his
superlative integrity and honesty. He took responsibility for
damage to the sacred figurehead of a barge he was steering when
the prow hit a large tree by a river canal. It is said that
PhanthaiNorasing begged the king, PhrachaoSuea, to execute him
in accordance with royal family law. PhrachaoSuea complied
against his own will, then ordered the construction of a
temporary shrine. Phanthai’s head as well as the broken
figurehead of the Ekkachai royal barge were placed in the shrine
to symbolize his honesty and loyalty. Later on, the Fine Arts
Department constructed a new shrine as the original one had
fallen into disrepair. Inside, there is a life-sized statue of
PhanthaiNorasing in the position of steering at the stern of the
barge, widely respected among the locals.
To get there,
take Ekkachai Road and turn onto Highway No. 3423
(WatSahakon-PhanthaiNorasing Shrine) for 15 kilometers. |
