Wat Sampanthawong

Wat Sampanthawong is a third-class royal temple, Worawihan type. It is located near the eastern bank of the Chao Phraya River in Sampanthawong Subdistrict, Sampanthawong District, Bangkok, in the Yaowarat area. It was originally a temple of the common people called Wat Ko. Evidence of the original construction of the temple does not show who built it. It is known that it is an ancient temple that has been around since the Ayutthaya Kingdom before the establishment of Rattanakosin as the capital. Wat Sampanthawong, Yaowarat, Bangkok, to pay homage and ask for blessings from Khun Mae Boonruen Tongboonterm, who was a laywoman who was devoted to Buddhism, practiced Vipassana meditation, and strictly observed the precepts. When Khun Mae was still alive, she was a person who was respected and loved by others because of her good deeds that she practiced consistently throughout her life. When entering the temple, it is peaceful, shady, clean, and has many trees. You don't have to worry about the heat. It is very cool. There are enough seats. Before we go to pay homage and ask for blessings from Khun Mae Boonruen, we will first pay homage to the principal Buddha image in the chapel. The chapel is beautiful and spacious. Inside the chapel, there is a history of the temple for us to read. There are officers taking care of various points. After we pay homage to the principal Buddha image, we will go to the Khun Mae Boonruen pavilion. Which is a museum with a statue of my mother for worship and praying. There are two floors in total. The lower floor is a museum that displays my mother's things when she was alive, including her white clothes, letters in her handwriting, various sacred objects, and two statues of my mother for praying. WP felt the sacredness of my mother because when she made her prayer, she felt a cold chill and got goosebumps. Chimplee prayer by Mother Boonruen Namo Tassa Bhagavato Arahato Samma Sambuddhasa (3 times) "Na Chaliti Chim Pali Ja Maha Thero Suwanna Mama Phochana Mama Watthuvattha Mama Pla Phalang Mama Phokha Mama Maha La Pho Mama Sappechana Phahuchana Bhawantume" #tripพาบินเที่ยวจีน
