Beautiful and stunni

Beautiful and stunning, unseen golden church 🕍 Wat Cho Lo or Wat Pak Nam Cho Lo or better known as Wat Bot Thong, Bang Khla District Because the church of the temple is golden all over, both inside and outside, it is a highlight for those who see it. According to history, "Wat Pak Nam Cho Lo" is located on the bank of the Bang Pakong River. It is a temple in the late Ayutthaya period, built about 200 years ago, but it is not clear when it was built. In the past, this area was the location of the Burmese army, which led the land and navy to clash with the army of King Taksin the Great. As a result of the battle, King Taksin the Great won over the Burmese. Therefore, he ordered the construction of a pagoda as a memorial. The name "Cholo" comes from King Taksin the Great's plan to attack the Burmese soldiers by sailing a boat along the river, making the Burmese soldiers believe that he came alone. Then let his soldiers surround and attack until they were victorious, so they called him "Chao Lo", which later became distorted to "Cholo". This temple is located in the Pak Nam area. Therefore, it was combined with the name of the location, becoming “Wat Pak Nam Jo Lo” until today. The interior of the church is golden yellow, like the outside, including the various utensils that emphasize the color of gold as well, making it look more valuable and worth worshipping. Under the base of the principal Buddha image in the church, it is open for the faithful to crawl under the base of the Buddha image for good luck. This temple is located in Bang Khla District, Chachoengsao Province, near famous tourist attractions, Bang Khla Floating Market and Wat Bat Mae Kai (Wat Pho Bang Khla). It can be said that it is another interesting tourist attraction and another unseen place in the city of Paet Riu. Open daily from 08.00 – 17.00 hrs. #VisitHistoricalSite #Mr.Tourism
