My journey, most of the time when I arrive there, I have to pay homage to the City Pillar Shrine for good luck. For example, this time, I went to Surat Thani. I stopped by to pay homage to the City Pillar Shrine of Surat Thani because I stayed at the B2 Hotel, which is opposite the City Pillar Shrine in the evening. It was a good time for people to come and exercise. When it got a little dark, they turned on the lights, which reflected on the City Pillar Shrine, turning it into red, pink, green, and blue, which made it look beautiful. So I would like to invite everyone to pay homage to the City Pillar Shrine if you have the chance to go to Surat Thani.

Wat Pa Khian Ping is located at Village No. 9, Ban Bang Ko, Tambon Ton Yuan, Amphoe Phanom, Surat Thani Province. This plot of land was originally a village reserve. Later, it was built as Ban Khian Ping School. Not long after, Ban Khian Ping School was closed down due to a decrease in the number of students. In 2001, Luang Ta Phon Wimonlo (Phra Khru Sangkharak Siltham Wimonlo) came to pioneer the construction of the Khian Ping Monastery. He received cooperation from Buddhists from all directions. They joined forces and demolished the old school building that was temporarily used as a prayer hall, which was in a dilapidated condition. They then built a new prayer hall and constructed various permanent structures, such as a kitchen, monks’ and novices’ quarters, nuns’ quarters, a drinking hall, stairs to the Emerald Cave, etc. Later, on April 20, 2007, the National Office of Buddhism announced that it was designated as “Wat Pa Khian Ping.” #VisitHistoricalSite
