Benchakirin Nakhon Temple, Ratchaburi Province

Wat Benchakiri Nakhon, Ratchaburi Province Located near Bangkok, travel About an hour Drive according to Google into the alley On both sides of the road are pineapple farms in terraces, a beautiful view that is very pleasant to look at. The temple is located on a hill in a quiet atmosphere, the air is very good, there is a cool breeze. Even though the sun is very strong, but with the area surrounded by 5 mountains, as the name of Wat Benchakiri Nakhon suggests, this temple is beautiful with sculptures and the area surrounded by mountains. Wat Benchakiri Nakhon by Phra Khru Sangkharak Suraphon Chanthasophon (Luang Pho Nen) is the abbot of the temple. On the day we went, the temple organized a Kathin ceremony to raise funds to build the Ubosot hall, which is in the process of being rebuilt to completion. What is especially interesting is this Ubosot. I heard from an old man that it is made of ancient golden teak wood, carved with giant statues, human sculptures, and white Naga stairs on both sides in front, very beautiful. I'm not sure if you are allowed to go inside or not. And the beautiful sculptures that can be seen from afar as a symbol of Wat Benchakitti is the square-shaped pagoda in Indian art. The stairs are a pair of nagas. It is a replica of the Buddha Gaya pagoda in India, built the same size as the real one, 7 floors high. Inside, there is a beautiful golden Buddha statue. But on the day we went, the inside was closed. We went up to see the atmosphere around the pagoda. The view from the top is a million-dollar beauty. The air is very cool and comfortable, different from the area below. For Wat Benchakitti, it is believed that this temple is a city of nagas. On the full moon day or important Buddhist days, there will be different colored lights floating in the temple area often. #JapanTip #Mooncake #PlacesToVisitNearBangkok #CafeReview #RecommendDeliciousRestaurant
