Wat Phiphitthamongkhon

#GetDiscountWithoutLuck Wat Phiphat Mongkhon is located in Thung Saliam District, Sukhothai Province. It belongs to the Mahanikaya Sect. It is one of the important temples in the province. Originally, this temple was an abandoned temple in the middle of a rice field. It should be around 700 years old, but there is no historical evidence. Only the foundations of the ordination hall and the ancient pagoda were found, which were submerged about 1.50 meters underground. In the middle of the temple, Phra Phuttha Sukhopothong or Luang Pho Thongkham is a Buddha statue cast from pure gold weighing 9 kilograms. It is a Buddha statue in the Mara-Vijaya attitude, built in the Sukhothai style, which is very beautiful. It is estimated to have been built during the Sukhothai period as the capital by the Sukhothai craftsmen. The history and miracles are interesting. Phra Phuttha Sukhopothong is highly respected and believed in by the people of Thung Saliam. It is believed to be a sacred Buddha statue that helped the abbot establish the temple and find things to build. It also helped the temple flourish and became an important Buddhist school in Sukhothai Province in less than 20 years.
