It is a temple that has historical, archaeological, and religious significance. It is the place where Phra Mao Lak Chedi is enshrined, which is a southern architectural style from the Ayutthaya period, in the style of Sri Lankan art, and is related to the legend of Luang Pu Thuat stepping on the sea water to make it fresh. There is a story that one day, a pirate sailed along the shore and saw Somdej Phra Kho walking, looking strangely different from other people, so he wanted to test him. The pirate stopped the boat and captured Somdej Phra Kho. After the boat sailed for a while, it couldn't sail any further. It had to stop for several days until the fresh water ran out. The pirate was in trouble. Somdej Phra Kho felt sorry for him, so he put his left foot in the sea water, which sparkled brightly. The sea water turned into fresh water. The pirate was filled with faith, worshiped, asked for forgiveness, and brought Somdej Phra Kho to shore. Since then, many people have come to worship and pay homage. 🙏🙏🙏 The sacredness of Luang Pu Thuat that everyone admires and believes in 🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺 Importance♻️ Wat Phakho is a temple with important historical and archaeological sites.
