🙏🏻Wat Pikunthong Royal Monastery (Wat Luang Pho Pae)🙏🏻

Located on the eastern bank of the Noi River, approximately 16 km from Singburi town, this is a large temple on the Noi River that is one of the most important in Singburi. Locals call it Wat Luang Pho because it was the residence of Luang Pho Pae Pae, a famous monk. He passed away in 1999. Inside the temple, there is the Luang Pho Pae Museum, which exhibits the history and personal belongings of Luang Pho Pae from the past to the present. In addition, on one side of the temple is the largest Buddha statue in Thailand, Phra Phuttha Suwanna Mongkhon Maha Muni or Luang Pho Yai. The principal Buddha image of Wat Phikun Thong is a small Buddha image on a multi-tiered base to accommodate the size of the ordination hall. We will see that the principal Buddha image is very small. This Buddha image is called Phra Phuttha Si Wiriya Sobhit. Luang Pho Si Kesaro, Luang Pho Pae's teacher of magical knowledge, created it and offered it to Luang Pho Pae. A wax figure of Luang Pho Pae is in the museum. There are wreaths bestowed by His Majesty the King, Her Majesty the Queen, and other members of the royal family. In front of the building, there are many rows of chairs.
