Wat has been the center of Thai communities since the old times.
Hence, there are numerous almost everywhere in Thailand,
including Singburi province. Wat Kudithong is one of the temples
in Singburi province. It is also the third meditation center of
the province. The temple is clean and beautiful. There are two
meditation pavilions and residents with built-in toilets. The
temple is awarded as it is the model for other temples to
follow.
Inside the temple’s area, there is a mondop (a
square hall with pyramidal roof) resembling the twelve indented
pagoda. The mondop was built in 1900 by Luang Pho Panya
Uttamapichai, the abbot. At the top of the mondop, the Lord
Buddha’s relics are enshrined. Inside, the Lord Buddha’s metal
footprint is worshipped. Moreover, there is Thaiphuan Cultural
Center where daily items of local people in the old times are

and old boats.
