Wat Phanan Choeng Worawihan, an ancient temple of the Ayutthaya people
📍Wat Phanan Choeng Worawihan, Nakhon Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province
🕍 Today, Air will take everyone to visit a beautiful temple in Thailand. This is Wat Phanan Choeng, which is an ancient and important temple in Ayutthaya. It is famous throughout the country, especially Luang Pho To or Chao Pho Sam Pok Kong, which both Thai and Chinese Buddhists have respected for a long time. When you come to this temple, it is not strange to see a lot of people coming to pay homage to Luang Pho To. 👍🏻👍🏻 The highlight here is Luang Pho To or Phra Phuttha Trairattanayok, a Buddha statue in the late U Thong art style, in the Mara-Vijaya posture, sitting cross-legged, with a lap width of 14.20 meters and a height of 19.20 meters. The material is made of stucco and lacquered with gold leaf. This Luang Pho To or Phra Phuttha Trairattanayok or Phra To of the Ayutthaya people is considered an ancient Buddha statue that has been a symbol of the city of Ayutthaya since the beginning of its establishment. The Chronicles of Ayutthaya, Luang Prasert Aksornniti version, stated that it was built in 1868 or King Ramathibodi I founded Ayutthaya for 26 years and when Ayutthaya was about to fall, it appeared in the testimony of the old capital that the large Buddha image at Wat Phanan Choeng had tears flowing miraculously. Luang Pho To is one of the Buddha images that is highly respected by the Chinese people and is called "Sam Pok Kong". In addition to Thai people, there are also many Chinese people who come to pay homage and worship regularly every year. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Around the temple, there is also a place to feed the fish and sit and enjoy the view of the river, which is another spot that people who come here should not miss. 🥰🥰
