Exquisite Thai temple, Wat Phlap Phla Chai

#Get a discount without relying on luck - Wat Phlap Phla Chai was built during the reign of King Narai the Great. Originally, there was no clear record of the temple's true name. It was not until the end of the Ayutthaya period and the beginning of the Thonburi period that it was learned that Chao Phraya Chakri (the former title of King Rama I) ordered rice farming at Talay Tom, which was a large mound, and ordered a cow pen to be built here. Therefore, the temple's common name was Wat Khok or Wat Khok, according to the condition of the mound and cow pen. It was not until the reign of King Rama VI that he changed the name of this new temple to "Wat Phlap Phla Chai" because it was the location of the pavilion for the Tiger Corps to practice their war. - The ordination hall enshrines the principal Buddha image, Phra Phutthamongkhon. Inside the ordination hall, there are mural paintings.
