Phra That Bo Ong Chedi............ Wat Phra That Bo Ong, Village No. 2, Pilok Subdistrict, Thong Pha Phum District, Kanchanaburi Province, is an ancient temple and the center of the surrounding Karen Buddhist village. Phra That Bo Ong Chedi is a Mon-style chedi, 6 meters high, with a base of approximately 3x3 meters wide. It is built on top of a small limestone hill surrounded by a large pond. In the pond, there are lotuses and various kinds of water birds. There is no clear information about when Phra That Bo Ong Chedi was built. Beside the chedi, there is a small bell tower with a bell hanging from it. The villagers tell each other that it is a bell that King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) gave to hang with Phra That Bo Ong. Phra That Bo Ong Chedi is a sacred object that is highly respected by the villagers in the village. There is a story that once a woman walked across a bridge to go up to the top of the hill, causing the water in the surrounding pond to dry up. Therefore, the villagers believed that they had to make a rule that "women are prohibited from walking across the bridge." To enter the Phra That area absolutely." If anyone violates and does not comply, it is said that that person will suffer various misfortunes (***This is a personal belief. Please use your discretion.***) Every 15th day of the waxing moon of the 4th month of every year, there will be many respected local people traveling to worship the Phra That Bo Ong pagoda. #Bo Ong #Kanchanaburi travel #Thong Pha Phum #Vachiralongkorn Dam #Get a discount without relying on luck
