Pay respect to the ashes of Grandma Mo at Sala Loi Temple, Korat

If anyone has the opportunity to visit Nakhon Ratchasima Province, one thing that everyone should not miss is paying homage to Ya Mo. In addition to paying homage to Ya Mo at the Ya Mo square near the provincial hall, there is another place that we recommend that you do not miss, which is Wat Sala Loi, which is not far away. Wat Sala Loi is located in Nakhon Ratchasima Province. It is an old temple that Thao Suranaree built with Phraya Suriyadet or Plad Thongkham, the deputy mayor of Nakhon Ratchasima, her husband, after defeating the army of Chao Anuwong in 1827. After the war at Thung Samrit, while leading the army back to Nakhon Ratchasima, Khunying Mo stopped to rest at Tha Tako and ordered her soldiers to make a raft in the shape of a pavilion to float down Lam Takong. She made a wish that if the raft in the shape of a pavilion floated and got stuck somewhere, she would build a temple as a memorial. The raft floated and got stuck on the right bank of Lam Takong, which was an abandoned temple. Therefore, a chapel was built, which is now Wat Sala Loi. At this temple, there is a pagoda containing Ya Mo's ashes, and there is also a statue of Ya Mo in the same area. For those who are respected and admired to pay homage, pray for blessings, and make wishes from Ya Mo. For traveling to Wat Sala Loi, if using public transportation, you can take a Songthaew No. 14 that passes in front of the temple or take a motorcycle taxi for 50 baht. If you drive, there is a spacious and convenient parking lot. After returning from Korat this time, I felt fulfilled because in addition to visiting the big city, the gateway to the northeast, I also had the opportunity to pay homage to Ya Mo. #thailand #nakhonratchasima
