Wat Phra Phuttha Chinnarat

I am also a villager. Whenever I go up north and pass through Phitsanulok Province, I always stop by to pay homage at Wat Yai for good luck for myself and my family. On Loi Krathong Day, I had to go to Sukhothai Province. So, I intended to pay homage to him. I am very glad that I did. So, let’s listen to a little bit of history. I will only talk about Luang Pho Yai. Wat Phra Sri Rattana Mahathat Woramahawihan, Phitsanulok Province, is commonly known as Wat Yai or Wat Luang Pho Phra Phuttha Chinnarat. It is a royal temple originally built during the Sukhothai period. It houses an important and very beautiful Buddha image of Thailand, Phra Phuttha Chinnarat. “Phra Phuttha Chinnarat” or “Luang Pho Yai” is a Sukhothai-style Buddha image in the Mara-Vijaya attitude. It is cast in bronze. The outer lines of the body are graceful. The edges of the monk’s robe are separated into centipede fangs. The eyebrows are arched. The topknot is a flame. The hands have all four fingertips that are even. The glass pavilion is beautifully carved from wood. It is assumed that it was built in 1900 during the reign of King Maha Thammaracha I (Lithai), the King of Sukhothai. With its beautiful and outstanding Buddha image, Phra Buddha Chinnarat has been praised as one of the highest Buddhist sculptures in Thailand. From here, I made merit and brought everyone to worship the Buddha and had a great time. We also stopped to eat ice cream, snacks, and meatballs, which made us both full of merit and body. The total cost was about 68 baht. #thailand #centralregionteam #beautifultemplesaroundthailand #beautifultemplesinthailand #beautifultemplesworthvisiting #beautifultemplesinthailand
