Luang Pho To or Phra Phuttha Trairattanayok or the Big Buddha of the Ayutthaya people is considered to be an ancient Buddha image of Ayutthaya since the beginning of the city. The Chronicles of Ayutthaya, Luang Prasert Aksornniti version, states that it was built in 1325, or 26 years after King Ramathibodi I established Ayutthaya. When Ayutthaya was about to fall, it was recorded in the testimony of the old capital that the large Buddha image at Wat Phanan Choeng miraculously had tears flowing from his eyes. Luang Pho To is one of the Buddha images that is highly respected among the Chinese, who call it “Sam Pok Kong”. In addition to Thais, there are also many people of Chinese descent who come to pay homage and worship, which happens every year.
