Those who are into superstitions must not miss Wat Nak Prok.

#GetDiscountWithoutLuck Wat Nak Prok is a temple that has been abandoned since the reign of King Borommakot (built in 2291, 19 years before the fall of Ayutthaya). Only the roof and walls of the chapel remain. When the chapel was renovated, to show gratitude to the Thai people who helped his business grow and progress, his wife was very devoted to Buddhism. She hired a painter from China to paint murals as an auspicious offering for the ancient Chinese, which is considered the only one in Thailand. This was to commemorate himself. In addition, he built a Thai-style chapel as a memorial to his wife. He painted murals with Thai patterns telling the story of the Lord Buddha's descent from the heavens and the story of the Lord Buddha's victory over Mara. He then invited two Buddha statues in the Mara-Vijaya posture from Sukhothai. One was enshrined as the principal Buddha image in the chapel. Later, the villagers called this Buddha image "Luang Pho Chao Sua". The sacredness of Luang Pho Chao Sua made people travel to pay homage every day without fail, especially to ask for blessings for success in their careers. and doing various businesses like the old tycoon Puk Another one is equally sacred, it is the Buddha statue in the Naga Prok posture, which is enshrined as the principal Buddha statue in the temple. There is a seven-headed Naga with a hood spread out, made of plaster. The Buddha statue is in the Mara-Vijaya Samrit posture. Therefore, the villagers called it "Wat Naga Prok" according to the characteristics of the Buddha statue. #bomikotravel #WatNakProk #SaiMuu #Worship #Askforblessings #Naga #OldTemple #Bangkok
