Wat Pho Kao Ton 🙏🏻

Wat Pho Kao Ton is a temple of the Mahanikaya sect located in Tambon Bang Rachan, Amphoe Khai Bang Rachan, Sing Buri Province. Wat Pho Kao Ton is also known as Wat Mai Daeng because there are many red trees growing in the temple grounds. It is an old temple built in the Ayutthaya period. It is historically significant because during the reign of King Ekathat around 2308, the country was invaded by enemies. The locals gathered around 400 people to build a camp around Ban Bang Rachan. Phra Ajahn Thammachoti resided at Wat Pho Sam Ton, originally from Wat Khao Nang Buat in Suphan Buri Province. He helped to consecrate amulets to protect the villagers and enable them to fight the enemies with great strength. However, when the enemy was many times stronger, they had to retreat and flee. Many temples were abandoned and destroyed until the Rattanakosin period around 2484, when more people moved to settle there and initiated the renovation of the temples again. The Ministry of Education announced the status of a temple with monks since April 11, 1968. It received the royal charter of the boundary of the temple on October 22, 1970. The boundary of the boundary of the temple is 40 meters wide and 60 meters long. The boundary of the boundary was tied on March 24, 1981. Currently, the government has built a model camp in front of Wat Pho Kao Ton as a memorial. #Singburi
