If you have visited the Giant Swing area, an important landmark that stands majestically in front of one of the most beautiful temples is "Wat Suthat Thepwararam Ratchaworamahawihan", the temple of King Rama VIII that was built since the reign of King Rama I. The highlight here is the large and eye-catching main hall, which houses the principal Buddha image named "Phra Si Sakyamuni", the largest metal Buddha image in Thailand, which was brought from Wat Mahathat, Sukhothai Province since the early Rattanakosin period.
The uniqueness that is unlike any other temple is that inside the main hall, in addition to the beautiful principal Buddha image, around Phra Si Sakyamuni there are also statues of "80 principal disciples" sitting around listening to sermons, which are very rare to see in other temples. The surrounding murals are also exquisitely crafted, telling the story of the Buddha's history and Thai literature gracefully, allowing those who come to pay respect to feel the peace and faith that spreads throughout the hall.
In addition, inside the temple there is a sacred object that is highly revered by both fortune tellers and tourists, which is "Thao Wessuwan", which is considered the prototype for the creation of Thao Wessuwan in Thailand, located in the pavilions around the temple, including "Phra Sunthariwani", the goddess of wisdom who is often asked for blessings regarding studies and work. The atmosphere around the temple is decorated with Thai-Chinese architecture and Chinese stone dolls, looking classic and valuable.
Visiting Wat Suthat on a holiday will give you complete "happiness" because in addition to making merit and paying respect to the Buddha, there are also many delicious restaurants in the Giant Swing area to choose from. This holiday, if you want to add auspiciousness to your life, try visiting the principal Buddha image and admire the beauty of the principal disciples at Wat Suthat. It is easy to travel to and guaranteed to be impressive.
