Beautiful temple, Ban Phaeo
I had a chance to visit Ban Phaeo, Samut Sakhon Province and stumbled upon the name of a temple that surprised me a little, which was #Wat Lak Si Rat Samoson. I later found out that Lak Si does not mean Lak Si District, on Chaeng Watthana Road, but is a marker indicating the location of Khlong Damnoen Saduak, starting from marker 0 to marker 8, in Ban Phaeo District, 5 markers.
Arriving at #Wat Lak Si Rat Samoson, it is a beautiful and shady temple by the Damnoen Saduak Canal. The sacred thing that those who come to this temple for merit-makers is to pay homage to #Luang Pho To, an ancient Buddha statue from the U Thong period, made of red sandstone covered with cement, in the Mara-Vijaya attitude. His face is plump and smiling, 81 inches wide and 99 inches high. In addition, there is #Luang Pho To Mahayana, an amazing sculpture that can be called #UnseenSamutSakhon, with a large Luang Pho To statue enshrined in a simulated cave, and there is also a simulated waterfall flowing behind the Buddha statue, which is very beautiful and impressive.
A little further on (Lak Sam Subdistrict), there is #Wat Thammachariya Phirom, an ancient temple. Located on the Damnoen Saduak Canal, the highlight of this temple is the large, two-story, golden pagoda, which is very beautiful and can be seen from afar. In front of the pagoda, the upper floor is where the principal Buddha image #Luang Pho U Thong and the Buddha's relics are enshrined.
At Wat Lak Si Rat Samoson, there are locals providing long-tail boat tours. If tourists want to add more fun to their trip, they can try taking a boat to see the way of life on both sides of the canal, visiting #Lak Ha Floating Market or #Damnoen Floating Market, or even #Amphawa Floating Market, which is another kind of fun.
