Phra Mahathat Chedi Phakdi Prakat, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province

Many people travel to Hua Hin, but staying at the beach and accommodation alone can be boring. Come out to make merit and receive good things. It would be great. Wat Tang Sai, a beautiful temple by the sea in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, also has Phra Maha That Chedi Phakdi Prakat, which is the home of King Rama IX. Wat Tang Sai is located on Khao Pak Thong Chai by the sea in Ban Krut.

Phra Maha That Chedi Phakdi Prakat or Phra Maha Chedi Kao Yot, a three-storey prang with four porches, can be seen from far away. It is a beautiful viewpoint where you can see Ban Krut Beach, the bay and coconut trees as far as the eye can see. It is a good place to learn about architecture, painting, sculpture, religion and ecology. The important place of worship and religious objects in this temple is Phra Phutthakittisirichai or what the locals call Luang Pho Yai, a Buddha statue in the meditation posture in the Gandhara style, facing the sea.

This was to honor and offer as a special royal merit on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the reign. This bell-shaped chedi is located on a square base with a 5-storey building, which means the 50th anniversary of the reign or the meaning of the 5 aggregates.
