[2025 Mae Sot Attraction] Travel Guide for Wat Thai Samakkhi (Updated Apr)

Wat Thai Samakkhi (Wat Luang Pho Than Jai Rattana Mung Muang) "Phra Chao Than Jai is sacred, the way of life of city people, famous for culture, beautiful community forest, full of friendliness, people are united and have Dharma" The original Wat Thai Samakkhi was called Wat Nuea or Wat Mai, located in Ban Mae Kuet Luang, Village No. 1, Mae Ka Sa Subdistrict, Mae Sot District, Tak Province. It was built in 1939 by Phra Khru Uthai (Khru Ba Moon), the abbot of Mae Sot Subdistrict, who was the chairman of the construction. Mr. Chak Phae Ka Sa donated the land to build the temple. Later, the group of devotees joined forces to build a bamboo hut with a thatched roof as a shelter for monks and novices to perform merit-making. When the construction was complete, Phra Khru Uthai also arranged for Phra Wan (Khru Ba Wan) to act as the abbot for 11 years. Later in 1950, Phra Tho Lo Kantawaso was invited to be the abbot. In 1958, he passed away, so Phra Boonchuay Sopako was invited to be the abbot. After 9 years, he moved to another place. Then, Phra Sukham Suwanno was invited to be the abbot for another 4 years. He then moved to study in another province. In 1983, Phra Athikan Buntha Akkhawanno was invited to be the abbot. After 8 years, he disrobed. In 1991, Phra Amphon Kantawiro was invited to be the abbot of Wat Thai Samakkhi until the present. Later, his name was changed to Phra Athikan Thammachak Kantawiro and he was granted the ecclesiastical title of Phra Khru Methakitkoson. Second-class abbot of Maekasa Subdistrict on January 3, 2009

It is well known that Tak Province has Luang Por Tan Jai at Wat Phra Borommathat Ban Tak, Ban Tak District. However, few people know that Luang Por Tan Jai also has another place, Wat Thai Samakkhi, Mae Sot District. Wat Thai Samakkhi is about a hundred kilometers away from Wat Phra Borommathat Ban Tak because Mae Sot District is on the Thai-Burmese border. The architecture of Wat Thai Samakkhi is more exquisite and has been influenced by Burma more than Wat Phra Borommathat Ban Tak. Inside the temple, there are quite a few Burmese people walking around among Thai people. The temple's noticeboards and advice signs are written in Burmese alongside Thai throughout. If anyone goes to Tak Province, I recommend that you go and ask for a blessing from Luang Por Tan Jai. P.S. Mae Sot District also has an airport.

Whenever you come to Mae Sot, you must not miss making merit at Wat Thai Samakkhi, Mae Ka Sa Subdistrict, Mae Sot District, because this temple is a place where people come to worship Phra Chao Tan Jai and there is also Thao Phra Wessuwan to worship. There is also a beautiful place to take pictures and feed the fish. If anyone comes to Mae Sot, don't forget to come here, Wat Thai Samakkhi.

Today I will take everyone to visit a temple that is very popular with people who come to worship and ask for blessings. It can be said that it is a famous temple here. 🏵 Wat Thai Samakkhi, originally called Wat Nuea or Wat Mai, is a temple with beautiful sculptures and Lanna architecture. With the goodwill of the locals here, Wat Thai Samakkhi has become well-known and tourists come to visit and make merit continuously. 🌄 The important thing about this temple is Phra Chao Tan Jai Rattana Mung Muang, a sacred Buddha image that is highly respected by locals and people from nearby areas, including Myanmar. It is believed that if you go to pay homage to Phra Chao Tan Jai or Luang Pho Tan Jai of Wat Thai Samakkhi, you will always have prosperity in life according to the path of right view. It is believed that if you ask for something that is appropriate and proper, it will be fulfilled “immediately.” 🍀 If anyone has the opportunity to visit Mae Sot, Tak Province, stop by to worship and ask for blessings.
