Pay homage to Luang Pho To at Wat Yang

🏞Wat Yang, a third-class royal monastery, was established in 1841. The name of the temple is said to come from a sacred Buddha image in the Mara Vichaya posture, carved from wood, named Luang Pho To. It floated and stopped at the riverfront of the temple. The villagers enshrined it in the temple, hence the name Wat Yang. Over time, the name evolved to Wat Yang. The notable and significant features within the temple include: 🏠The Ubosot, built in 1851, originally a wooden Chinese-style pavilion, later rebuilt with reinforced concrete. 🏠The Vihara, with a Thai-style roof and three gables, adorned with chofahs and covered with glazed tiles, houses Luang Pho To, the wooden carved Buddha image in the Mara Vichaya posture. 🏚The Holy Water Pavilion. 🙏Thao Wessuwan. ♨️Wat Yang: 1197 Soi On Nut 23, On Nut Subdistrict, Suan Luang District, Bangkok. 🎯Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/7cwKjzjWU5rMm6EbA 🕠Opening hours: 05:30 - 22:00.
