#tripพาบินเที่ยวจีน - Wat Prasat, an ancient temple in Nonthaburi, is believed to have been built in the late Ayutthaya period, judging from the Maha Ut style chapel. It received the royal charter of the boundary markers in 2310 B.E., but it is believed to have been built since the middle Ayutthaya period, around the reign of King Songtham, by Chao Phraya Kalahom (Ong Lai), who later ascended the throne as King Prasat Thong, the father of King Narai the Great. - Currently, the chapel of this temple is registered as a national historical site.

Maha Udom Church is still intact, no windows. The chapel looks like the hull of a junk, with 3 entrance doors and no windows. Another special feature is that there is a skylight behind the main Buddha image to spread light throughout the main Buddha image, as if a halo is shining out. This is another wonderful wisdom that our ancestors created. It is assumed that it was built during the reign of King Prasat Thong. Inside the temple, there is a giant Takhian tree that is over 1,000 years old, which was excavated in 2007. The Fine Arts Department surveyed it and found that it is over 1,000 years old. It is also considered the largest Takhian tree in the country. The rumor here is that if anyone comes into the temple and speaks badly, they will have to come back and ask for forgiveness here again. If anyone wants to ask for forgiveness, they can come and pray inside the chapel. Currently, the chapel is in the process of maintaining this chapel, but you can still go and pay your respects inside Maha Udom Church. #ReviewThaiTemple #VisitNonthaburi #MakeMeritAndWorship #Maha Uth Temple #Prasat Temple #Must-Visit Places #Pilgrimage Locations #Pilgrimage Travel #Secret Locations #Legend #Ancient Temples #Nonthaburi

#Rainy season attractions 🤥 The rainy season is starting to creep in. I feel lonely, so I want to go and pay respect to the Buddha for good luck. So I searched for information and was impressed with one day. I want everyone to go and get goosebumps. 😶 Wat Prasat, Nonthaburi Currently, the Fine Arts Department has registered Wat Prasat as a national historical site. The highlight that is enchanting is the temple's chapel, which is a Maha-ut chapel. It has no windows on both sides. In front, there is a castle-shaped door decorated with stucco patterns. At the back, there is only a small skylight behind the principal Buddha image. 🤭 Another distinctive feature of the church is that it is shaped like a ship's hull, or what is called falling into the elephant's belly.

It is suitable for chanting and meditating. In the church, there are printed papers with prayers for forgiveness from the Buddha, the Dharma, the Sangha, and the Mahajakkraphat prayers. We can pick them up and chant along. After chanting, we sat and looked at the Buddha's face, giving us a sense of peace and tranquility. Therefore, I would like to invite my friends to come and experience it to see if it is similar. It is also a good idea to come and worship during the rainy season. 📍 18 Moo 4, Bang Kruai-Sai Noi Road, Bang Krang Subdistrict 📌 Mueang Nonthaburi District, Nonthaburi Province ⏰ Open daily from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. ☎️ 08 7030 0409 💰 Free admission 🚗 Parking is available in front of the temple. #thailand #missnature #centralteam #waitingforthedaytodepart #travelthailand #familytrip #goodatmosphere #travelthailand #travel #beautifultemple #beautifultemplecoordinates
