Visit the largest reclining Buddha in Nonthaburi.

🏡 Wat Rat Prakongtham was built around 1713 during the late Ayutthaya period. However, some speculate that it might have been constructed earlier but fell into disrepair due to lack of maintenance. It became abandoned and was referred to by locals as "Wat Khang Khao" (Bat Temple). 🏘 Later, in 1950, locals restored and developed the temple, renaming it Wat Rat Prakongtham. Key attractions within the temple include: 🏠 The ordination hall housing the principal Buddha image, Luang Pho To (Sam Por Kong). 🙏 The reclining Buddha (Luang Pho Phra Non), measuring 32 meters in length, is the largest reclining Buddha in Nonthaburi, enshrined in the Reclining Buddha Pavilion. 🏚 The Reclining Buddha Pavilion also features replicas of three significant stupas: Phra That Hariphunchai, Phra That Phanom, and Phra Pathom Chedi. 🙏 Additionally, the temple houses other sacred figures such as Luang Pho Thanjai, Luang Pho Rub Chok, Luang Pho Som Prarthana, Phra Upakut, Phra Sivali, Luang Pho To Phrom Rangsri, and Pu Rue Si. ♨️ Wat Rat Prakongtham: 63 Moo 1, Ban Khlong Om, Sao Thong Hin Subdistrict, Bang Yai District, Nonthaburi Province. 🎯 Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/2z7qLWBumCsGVE2BA 🕖 Opening hours: 07:00 – 18:00.

Travel along the way @ Koh Kret 🐈🐾 📌Koh Kret, Nonthaburi 💕 An island in the middle of the Chao Phraya River, a famous tourist attraction in Nonthaburi Province 💕 It is well known as a community of Mon people famous for pottery and traditional local traditions that are still well preserved. There is the Mutao pagoda of Wat Paramiyikawas 🙏 as a symbol of the island's pier. The leaning pagoda that you can see when crossing the river from Wat Sanam Nuea Pier 😄 Most tourists who come to visit Koh Kret either come to walk around, shop, and find something delicious to eat 😋 But what you can't miss is the fried bamboo shoot fritters, fried flowers and vegetables, or choose to take a boat around the island 🛥 Or if you want to ride a bicycle around the island, there is also a distance of about 6 km. Ride along the houses on the island. The products that are the symbols of Koh Kret are pottery, jars, pots, and ceramics. The prices are negotiable 🛒⚱ But don't forget that this is an art that requires skill and experience. The price must be reasonable. Some are expensive, some are cheap, depending on the event. 😀 Currently, there are many shops on the island, including cute cafes ☕ riverside restaurants, Thai dessert shops that are hard to find anymore. But the most charming thing is the friendliness of the vendors and the locals on the island 😍 who are friendly, cheerful, and super cute. Koh Kret is open every Saturday - Sunday, including public holidays, from around 9:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. You can park your car at Wat Sanam Nuea. There is a 30 baht temple maintenance fee. You can park all day. Then walk behind the temple to the pier to cross the island. The boat fare is only 3 baht per trip. "It's so close to Bangkok. Let's go travel." #thailand #drivealongandrestwhentired #mind_madge #centralregionteam #KohKret #Nonthaburi #visitNonthaburi #placestovisitNonthaburi #placestovisitnearBangkok
