Wat Kae, Suphan Buri This is an ordinary temple, but not an ordinary one for us. Because 10 years ago, I came to pray and ask for blessings, and I was successful, but I forgot to come back and tell him. Until many years later, I dreamed about this temple. I dreamed that an elephant was about to trample me. I had many bad dreams for almost 3 days. Until I remembered the images and words that I used to ask for blessings from him, making me think that I had to come back here again.
