Wat Pho Kao Ton

Wat Pho Kao Ton 🍃🍂🙏🏻 Another name is Wat Mai Daeng because there are many red trees growing in the temple grounds. It is an old temple built in the Ayutthaya period. It has historical significance. In the reign of King Ekathat around 2308, the city was invaded by enemies. The locals gathered around 400 people to build a camp around Ban Bang Rachan. Phra Ajahn Thammachoti resided at Wat Pho Sam Ton, originally from Wat Khao Nang Buat in Suphan Buri. He helped to consecrate amulets to protect the villagers and make them fight the enemies more powerfully. However, when the enemy was many times stronger, they had to retreat and flee. Many temples were abandoned and destroyed. Until the Rattanakosin period around 2484, more people moved to settle there and began to renovate the temples again. The Ministry of Education announced the status of a temple with monks since April 11, 1968. It received the royal charter of the boundary of the temple on October 22, 1970. The boundary of the boundary of the temple is 40 meters wide and 60 meters long. The boundary of the boundary of the temple was tied on March 24, 1981. Currently, the government has built a replica camp in front of Wat Pho Kao Ton as a memorial. The buildings include the Phra Ajahn Thammachot Vihara, which is a four-sided vihara. There is an old vihara. There is no evidence of when it was built, but it is believed that it was built before the villagers gathered to set up a camp to fight the Burmese. There is also an Ayutthaya-style pagoda, which is believed to have been built at the same time as the temple. The bricks used to build the pagoda are in the shape of three asterisks, similar to the Ayutthaya vihara. There is also an ancient sacred pond. The Fine Arts Department has registered Wat Pho Kao Ton as an ancient site. #Wat Pho Kao Ton #Sing Buri
