It is an ancient temple that was built over 300 years ago. According to legend, Phraya Kaem Dam, the Lord of Sai Buri, wanted to find a location to build a new city for his sister. So he took a risk and prayed, letting an elephant travel into the forest, with the Lord of the city and his soldiers following. One day, the elephant stopped at a certain place and roared three times. Phraya Kaem Dam took it as a good sign and wanted to use that area to build a city. However, his sister did not like it, so Phraya Kaem Kham ordered a temple to be built in that area instead. He named it Wat Chang Hai and invited a monk, whom the villagers called Than Langka, Somdet Phra Kho, or Luang Pho Thuad who stepped on the fresh sea water. Preface by Phra Khru Wisai Sophon (Phra Ajahn Tim Thammatharo) #Wat Chang Hai

Pay homage to Luang Por Thuad, Wat Khang Hai May the baby elephant get what he wants. Amen 🙏🙏🙏

#VisitSecondaryCities 🙏Wat Chang Hai Rat Buranaram was built over 300 years ago.

However, his sister did not like it, so Phraya Kaem Dam ordered the construction of a temple instead and named it Wat Chang Hai. 🙏Then he invited a monk, whom the villagers called Than Langka or Somdej Phra Kho or Luang Pho Thuad who stepped on the sea water to stay at the temple. 🛕Inside the temple is a chedi, approximately 59 meters high, with a 5-spire chedi, with the largest chedi in the middle. On top of the chedi is a 7-tiered umbrella made from 100 baht of gold, decorated with rubies. Inside the chedi is a hall enshrining the Buddha's relics. And there is a balcony as a covered temple surrounding the pagoda. 🏰 The temple enshrines a life-size statue of Luang Pu Thuat. Luang Pu Thuat was a monk with great compassion. 🏞 There is a story that when he traveled to Ayutthaya by ship, there was a storm along the way. Food and drinking water fell into the sea. The crew felt very thirsty. Luang Pu Thuat showed his compassion by putting his feet in the sea. It turned out that the water in that area became fresh water and could be drunk. It was a miracle. Since then, his reputation has been known everywhere as "Luang Pu Thuat stepped on the sea water". 🙏 Luang Pu Thuat passed away in Malaysia. His remains were brought back to Wat Chang Hai. The temple organizes a bathing ceremony for Luang Pu Thuat's ashes on the 1st waning day of the 5th month of every year. 🏰 In addition, there is also beautiful architecture of stupas, pavilions, chapels and bell towers. 💥 Wat Chang Hai Rat Buranaram: Near Wat Chang Hai Railway Station, Ban Pa Rai, Tambon Khuan Noree, Amphoe Khok Pho Pattani Province 🌐Coordinates: https://maps.app.goo.gl/w8ZfhNsC98zRmgWM8 🕗Opening - Closing Hours: 08.00 - 17.00 #Pattani #VisitPattani #PattaniCityAttracted

People often make offerings by lighting firecrackers, offering eggs, and dancing. The atmosphere around the temple is beautiful and clean. People are packed in every day, indicating the sacredness of the temple that attracts people. It is easy to get to the temple. Just take the train and get off at Wat Chang Hai station.

- For those who don't know where to go on a holiday, I recommend going to make merit. Take the train back and forth to Wat Chang Hai. We live in Hat Yai. The train ticket price is only 20 baht. There are many trains. The earliest is around 6:50. We chose 7:50 and arrived at 9:40. It took almost 2 hours to get there. The atmosphere along the way was so great. It was so satisfying. The train will get off at Wat Chang Hai station. Then we walked to the temple about 300 meters. In front of the temple, there are many rice and food shops. It's delicious. As for the return trip, it starts from 11:30 onwards. We returned at 14:45. Arrived at Hat Yai station at 16:20. The day trip is over. I highly recommend it. Don't miss it if you're a merit-maker. ❤️ #SirinReview #WatChangHai #Pattani
