About

As one of the province's major temples belonging to the Dhammayut order (Thai Forest Tradition), it has many spots of interest such as Phra Thutangkhachedi (Dhutangachedi), a complex of 13 "chedis," or "stupas" which contains relics of the Buddha, and Wihan Wisuthithammarangsi (Vissudhidhammarangsi), a 3-storey building with 4 porches and a superstructure in the form of a mondop. A giant statue of the Indian Emperor Asoka is also worth mention. The temple was founded by the great saint Ajahn Lee Dhammadaro, whose remains are interred in a casket in the main temple hall. less lessAs one of the province's major temples belonging to the Dhammayut order (Thai Forest Tradition), it has many spots of interest such as Phra Thutangkhachedi (Dhutangachedi), a complex of 13 "chedis," or "stupas" which contains relics of the Buddha, and Wihan Wisuthithammarangsi (Vissudhidhammarangsi), a 3-storey building with 4 porches and a superstructure in the form of a mondop.
