Wat SoThorn is located on the waste bank of Bang Pakong River. Just 1 hour from Bangkok. The nick name of this city called Pad Rew (Pad = 8, Rew is what we call the strip of the fried fish ; the pic below is 4 Rew). This name is coming from the history. Very long time ago, this river has very big fish. When we cook the fish we have to make 8 strips to cook it easier. So, the fish is double size from the pic below.
Steal from another web Ha Ha....
Opps!!! it's food again. Coming bact to the trip. This temple has very long story since the age of Ayudthaya is the capital of Thailand (BC 2313). At that time, this temple name is Wat Hong. The budda floating along the Bang Pakong River. And stop at this temple. We invited budda to stay at this temple. We called Luang Pho Sothorn. Shall we go inside....
We have two ubosoth, the building for Budha and monk pray. The old obosoth is the place to the duplicate budda. For Thai, we will use joss stick, candle, flower and gold sheet for pray with budha. This is the reason that we have to make the duplicate one to safe the real one.
Now, we are going to the new ubosoth. the first photo of this blog. This is the place for the real Luang Pho Sothorn.
Inside, we have a large group of 20 other Buddha images around Luang Pho Sothorn. He is at the center back.
When we done the pray in the ubosoth. Don't forget to cross the street to go for shopping. They have a local market selling souvenir. For sure it's FOODS. The famous one is Khanom Jak and Khao Larm.
Local market
Khanom Jak : It made of coconut. Wrap with Jak leaf. Then, grill it on stove.
Khao Larm : We cooked the sticky rice in bamboo tube. And, top up with Coconut custard.
Don't ask me about the tested. This is the tawe not kin. I didn't brought and try it Ha Ha..... Hope you enjoy with this trip. Next will be Kin again.
