Luang Pho Uttama Temple (Wat Wang Wiwekharam)

#BeautifulTemplesAroundThailand Another place that Thais go to all the time is Sangkhlaburi, Kanchanaburi Province. It may not be far from Bangkok, but it is magical. But when you arrive in Sangkhlaburi, the temple that many people must go to and cannot miss is Wat Wang Wiwekharam or as we like to call it, Wat Luang Pho Uttama. Wat Wang Wiwekharam was built by Phra Ratcha Udom Mongkhon (Luang Pho Uttama), a famous Mon monk who gathered Karen, Mon, and Thai people living in Sangkhlaburi District to help build it. Currently, Luang Pho Uttama has passed away (October 18, 2006), but his disciples still keep his remains for people to come and pay homage. Important places in the temple include: The pavilion enshrining the remains of Luang Pho Uttama, which enshrines his remains in a beautiful Mon castle The marble Buddha image shrine Enshrining a 9-ton marble Buddha statue in the Mara-Vijaya posture, or commonly known as “Luang Pho Khao” or “Luang Pho Yok Khao” Buddha Gaya Pagoda was initiated by Luang Pho Uttama in 1978, modeled after the Buddha Gaya Pagoda in India. It is a reinforced concrete pagoda with a square base, 42 meters wide, 49 meters high, and 16 steel pillars in 4 directions. In 1989 #Thai temple #Worship and ask for blessings #Sangkhlaburi trip

The atmosphere here is peaceful and mysterious, especially during the dry season when the temple's structure is clearly visible. **Evening:** After a day of sightseeing, relax and have dinner by the river or in town. The local cuisine here is diverse, including Thai and Mon dishes such as Hang Lay curry and Mon grilled chicken. You can also find homestays or resorts with beautiful views to rest for the first night. ### Second Day **Morning:** Wake up early to participate in the almsgiving ceremony to monks on the Mon Bridge, a tradition preserved by the Mon people.

Mon Bridge

Mon Bridge, also known as Uttamanusorn Bridge, is located in Sangkhla Buri District. It is a wooden bridge built through the collective effort to cross the Songkalia River. The bridge was initiated by Luang Por Uttama of Wat Wang Wiwekaram. It is the longest wooden bridge in Thailand, measuring 850 meters in length, and is used for the commute of Mon and Thai people. If you visit Mon Bridge, it is recommended to stay overnight to experience the morning atmosphere and participate in the morning alms-giving. You can observe the Mon people's way of life and rent traditional Mon attire for memorable photos, marking your visit to this unique place.

The floating houses of Phetchaburi, a hidden gem in Thailand.

❤Recommended for: The first time I saw a view similar to that of Qiandao Lake in Thailand was in Sangkhla Buri, Phetchaburi! ✅Must-try: 🌊On the north side of the Mon Bridge, next to the dam, you can find many resorts and homestays! You can face the wooden bridge directly, and when you open the door, you can see a large lake view! 📝Tips: The only thing is that because this is a small town, it is a bit far from 7-11, so if you want to buy snacks, you have to run 2km~ 📍Detailed address: Currently, because this place is relatively niche, it is not very convenient to book a hotel and you need a local Thai guide, but it is still highly recommended!

Replica of Phra That In Hang, Phaya Ton Su City, Burma

#tripdiscount #Burmesetemple #ThreeOngPagodaPass #ReplicaofPhraThatInKhewan #PhayaTonSu This is another temple on the trip to travel around Burma by car, entering via the Three Ong Pagoda Pass, a one-day trip. This temple has a large pavilion where we went to worship and ask for blessings first. Then, if anyone has more energy than 100, go up to the back knee where there is a replica of Phra That InKhewan on top. It is not too high, but it is steep and the heat is almost bad. But the top is beautiful. When you come, gather your energy to fight the sun and come up.

Mon Bridge, Sangkhlaburi

Today, I woke up early to give alms at the Mon village and walked across the Mon Bridge. It's really high! If the water rises to this level, it would be quite scary. On the bridge, there are Mon children selling small items. You can take pictures and buy their goods to support them. To give alms, you need to cross the bridge and turn left. You'll see the alms-giving spot, which is crowded but not too packed. Everyone is so lovely.

Take a boat tour to see the underwater temple in Sangkhlaburi.

When the sun sets and the wind calms, you can take a boat tour to see the underwater temple. Originally, it was an old village that had to be submerged when the dam was built. To see it, you have to wait for the low water season. You can walk up to the temple and pay respects to the Buddha in the chapel. It's hard to believe that this temple gets submerged during the flood season. This is our first visit, so we haven't seen it during the high water season and don't know how massive the water can get. The pier is near the Mon Bridge, and you can negotiate the price as there are many options.

However, during mid-year when the water level is lower, the temple hall becomes visible, and if the water recedes significantly, you can even walk down to it. Old Sri Suwan Temple: When the water level is high, the temple is submerged and cannot be seen. But when the water is low, the temple hall emerges as an underwater temple that can be visited by boat. Old Somdet Temple: This is the only temple that is not submerged. You have to take a boat there and then walk up a hill to visit it. 🛶 There are boat rental points at both the Red Bridge and the Mon Bridge, offering long-tail boats for 300 baht per boat, seating up to 6 people. Larger boats are available for bigger groups. It's recommended to inquire from your accommodation for convenience as they will provide contact numbers and inform you of the convenient boarding points.

I really want everyone to come and experience the atmosphere. 🍃 ✒ We give this place a score of 8/10. #WinterMountainTravel #SunriseViewpoint #SunsetViewpoint #Viewpoint

A good day to do a hike

Vajiralongkorn Dam, originally known as Khao Laem Dam, is a multi-purpose dam built as part of the Mae Klong River Basin Development Project. It's a rockfill dam with a 92-meter-high reinforced concrete surface. Its peak stretches across the Khwae Noi River and is 10 meters broad and 1,019 meters long. The major goal is to create hydroelectricity while also collecting flood water and providing irrigation water. The dam's construction has created a beautiful lake that you should cruise along to enjoy the scenery. Overnight stays are also possible on floating rafts. #easylife#hiking#loveflowers#roadtrip#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer
