Stop by Hua Hin, check in at Wat Huay Mongkol

#VisitHuaHin When visiting Hua Hin, in addition to playing in the sea and eating seafood, another check-in point is to pay homage to Luang Por Thuad. .. Wat Huai Mongkol is home to the largest statue of Luang Por Thuad in the world. It was originally called "Wat Huai Khot" and is located in Ban Huai Khot community, Tambon Thap Tai, Amphoe Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province. Later, His Majesty the King granted a new name from Huai Khot to Huai Mongkol because when he visited the temple, he had an idea to build a new road from dirt roads to asphalt roads. He gave the same name as the temple. .. .. In addition, Wat Huai Mongkol also has Luang Por Thuad stepping on fresh sea water, carved from a large golden teak tree that is over a thousand years old, buried in the sand under the Yom River in Phrae Province, more than 10 meters deep. Locals believe that trees with a core that is 1 cubit high or more will have a tree spirit residing there to look after and protect those who come to pay homage. When the golden teak tree is used to make a statue, such as carving Luang Por Thuad stepping on fresh sea water, it has the power and sacredness that is multiplied. May everyone experience happiness, prosperity and be free from illness.
