#tripแจกโรงแรมฟรี#วัดห่งทอง #วัดกลางทะเล
Today, I will take you to visit a temple in the middle of the sea.
The name of the temple is Wat Hong Thong or locals call it Wat Klang Nam. It is located on Sukhumvit Road, Song Khlong Subdistrict, Bang Pakong District, Chachoengsao Province. It is a temple for the people, under the Mahanikaya sect.
⭐ It stands out with its three-story golden pagoda and the chapel in the middle of the sea. Inside, there is a golden Buddha statue and murals that tell the story of the life of the Buddha.
⭐ The highlight of Wat Hong Thong is the Seawalk, a glass-bottomed observation bridge that extends into the sea. It creates excitement and thrills for those who visit the temple and have the opportunity to walk and enjoy the view. The fee is 30 baht per person. Rotating shoes for stepping on the glass floor. Another highlight is the panoramic viewpoint on the 12th floor of the Kattanyu Building. The elevator fee is 20 baht per person. Both of these points are worth it for the view and the beauty of nature.
The temple also has permanent structures, objects, and sacred objects both on land and in the sea. On the shore, when you first enter the temple area, you will see an important place, “Luang Pu Pan’s Wihan” or “Luang Pu’s Kuti”, which is located behind the old chapel. On top of the Kuti is a golden-colored pagoda. Inside is a replica of “Luang Pho Sothon”.
In the multi-purpose parking lot, there is a statue of Thao Wessuwan.
Standing out for people to pay their respects and ask for good fortune.
Before the entrance to the Seawalk, there is a fork on the left. Walk to see the “Thai Literature Square”, a sculpture from the literary work “Phra Aphai Mani”. There is a sea butterfly, Phra Aphai Mani, a mermaid,
Sutsakorn, and Phra Chao Ta for taking lots of pictures. A one-day trip to Wat Hong Thong is definitely worth it.
