Located in the public park of Tao Ngoi district, along the Nam Phung River. The history of Tao Ngoi is said to have been told for about 400 years when Thailand waged a war with Laos. The Lao were defeated and were rounded up and brought to Thailand. When they arrived at the Nam Phung River, which is a large river in Sakon Nakhon, people in the past thought that this area should have abundant crops and many turtles living there, making it suitable for living. Therefore, they settled down and named it “Tao Ngoi Village”, where “Tao Ngoi” means a turtle that lives on high ground or on the banks or rocks. After that, the villagers and the government wanted to create something that would be a symbol of Tao Ngoi district. Therefore, they asked sculptors from the Kut Nakham Arts and Crafts Training Center to create a giant turtle statue in the public park behind the Tao Ngoi District Office. The statue of Phraya Tao Ngoi is located in a pond, surrounded by statues of the Naga and many small turtles. It was completed in 2012. The important characteristic of Phraya Tao Ngoi is that it is a large turtle. Each scale on its back is decorated with the image of a monk. On its back, Phraya Tao Ngoi is decorated with molded lotus flowers. In the lotus flower, there are gold necklaces, Buddha images, and various sacred objects, sealed tightly. According to beliefs, if anyone comes to pay homage, they will have a long life and good fortune. Therefore, there are always people traveling to pay homage and ask for fortune from Phaya Tao Ngoi. #Good quality content
