Description: |
|
Khao Sakae Krang mountain is accessible by foot through Wat
Sangkat Rattanakhiri’s long staircase. Passing through the
temple, visitors can admire the replica of Lord Buddha’s
footprint, built in 1905 and relocated from Wat Chantharam. A
large bronze bell hangs in front of the temple pavilion,
constructed by a royally-nominated official and the people of
Uthai Thani. It is believed that the bell is sacred, and
visitors to the province who have not rung the bell have not
truly seen the province.
At the summit of Khao Sakae
Krang is a statue of Somdet Phrapathom Borommahachanoknat or the
Royal Father of King Rama I, born Thongdi. The statue was cast
twice as large as life-size. Each year on April 6th, when
Suphannika or Fai Kham (yellow cotton trees), the symbolic
flower of Uthai Thani, bloom across the mountain, a ceremony is
held to honor King Rama I’s father. In the forest behind the
mountain, approximately 200 meters from the statue, there is a
world map pin, built in 1932.
To get there, take Highway
No. 3220 for 4 kilometers. Pass the provincial stadium. The
drive along the route to the top of the mountain is especially
noteworthy for its beautiful panoramic vistas of Uthai Thani.
Operating hours are 7.00 am-6.00 pm. |
