🛕Historical site "Wat Phleng" (abandoned) 📌It is an abandoned temple located on the bank of Wat Sak Yai Canal, Nonthaburi Province. It is currently an abandoned temple in the middle of a fruit orchard. There is a large church made of brick and mortar. 🧱It is decorated with beautiful stucco patterns. Some are broken and crumbling according to the condition. This temple has history and art from the Ayutthaya period. 💠 🙏The principal Buddha image in the chapel is Luang Pho To, an ancient Buddha image made of red sandstone inside. It is covered with cement and gold lacquer. 🎐 It is a Buddha image in the U Thong art style. Originally, Wat Thong Phleng was beautifully gilded throughout. But because it was an abandoned temple, it was peeled off (but now it has been re-gilded). #Wat Phleng #Historical site #Abandoned Wat Phleng #Sai Mu #Ayutthaya period #unseenthailand #Nonthaburi #Old temple #Drive and rest when tired #mind_madge #trip free accommodation

#GetDiscountWithoutLuck - Wat Phleng is a temple from the Ayutthaya period that was abandoned for about 200 years. Later, in 1984, while Luang Por Khru Ba Srinuan Thammawuttho was meditating, he had a vision that His Majesty King Rama V invited him to renovate an abandoned temple. In 1986, he walked on a pilgrimage from Chiang Mai to the South to search for a temple. He found this temple and was convinced that it was the temple in his vision. He stayed there since that year before renovating and building a new chapel. - The highlight of Wat Phleng is the pink chapel, which was painted with devotion to the royal grace of King Chulalongkorn (since pink was his signature color).
