เส้นทางแห่งศรัทธา สัมผัสเสน่ห์มนต์รามัญ

65 Wat Bodhi Thong Bon is an ancient temple from pre-Ayutthaya Era. The name of the temple comes from the golden Bodhi tree in front of the temple but, unfortunately, the golden Bodhi tree died because of a flood. In front of the temple on Chao Phraya Riverside, stands a gold-leaved blessing Buddha that commuters can easily notice. The temple hall encloses a 70 year-old demon-defeating Buddha and “Luang Pho Petch” which is a demon-defeating Buddha from Chieng Saen Era which are well-respected by the locals. The head part of Luang Pho Petch is made of crystal. The folklore tells that the Buddha was set adrift on a raft and the locals put the Buddha in this temple. Later, the Buddha statue was beheaded by thieves. Thus, the community casted a new head for the Buddha and cemented the whole statue as we can see. Near the main hall is the pavilion that contains “Luang Pho Jang”, the main Buddha that is special because the statue was connected to the base in order to prevent theft.
