Wat Chedi Ai Khai

This post shares a sacred location for praying and making wishes in Nakhon Si Thammarat. "Wat Chedi Ai Khai, Nakhon Si Thammarat" This temple is famous in Nakhon Si Thammarat. The current location of Wat Chedi was once a place where Luang Pu Thuat, a renowned monk from the southern region, meditated. Ai Khai is believed to be the spirit of a 9-10 year old boy who was a disciple of Luang Pu Thuat. When Luang Pu Thuat arrived at this place, he found a lot of treasures and important religious sites. He then assigned Ai Khai to guard these treasures. The spirit has been protecting the national treasures at this temple ever since. Due to the belief that "ask and you shall receive," many people come to pay respects to Ai Khai or Ta Khai to ask for blessings and fortune. It is common to offer gifts such as fighting cock statues, military uniforms, slingshots, and various toys.
