Wat Phanan Choeng Worawihan
วัดพนัญเชิงวรวิหาร
Wat Phanan Choeng Worawihan is a Buddhist temple located in the city of Ayutthaya, Thailand. It is one of the oldest and most revered temples in the region and holds great cultural and religious significance.
The temple was established in 1324 during the reign of King U-Thong, the founder of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. The main highlight of Wat Phanan Choeng Worawihan is the massive seated Buddha image known as Phra Chao Phanan Choeng. This impressive statue measures approximately 19 meters high and 4.5 meters wide, making it one of the largest Buddha images in Thailand. The image is made of brick and covered in stucco and gold leaf.
Phra Chao Phanan Choeng is highly venerated by Thai Buddhists and attracts numerous devotees and visitors throughout the year. People come to the temple to pay their respects, offer prayers, and make offerings such as flowers, incense, and candles. It is believed that making merit and seeking blessings from the Buddha image brings good luck and fulfillment of wishes.
Wat Phanan Choeng Worawihan has undergone several renovations and expansions over the centuries, reflecting the changing architectural styles and influences of different eras. Despite experiencing significant damage during the Burmese invasion in the 18th century, the temple has been restored and continues to be an important spiritual and cultural site.
Chao Mae Soi Dok Mak Shrine
ศาลเจ้าแม่สร้อยดอกหมาก
According to legend Phra Chao Sai Nam Phung, a King who ruled before the founding of Ayutthaya, wanted to marry the daughter of a Chinese emperor. When the Princess named Soi Dok Mak arrived by boat the King was not there to welcome her. After having waited in vain a long time for the King’s return, the Princess was so sad that she killed herself by holding her breath. When the King finally returned he was stricken with grief and built the Wat Phanan Choeng on the spot where she was cremated.
Near the river bank stands a small, colourful Chinese temple adorned with dragons. Fearsome Chinese warriors guard its entrance. Two buildings are joined together. The ground floor of the building in the back is dedicated to Guanyin, the Bodhisattva of mercy who is often depicted with many arms. It is said that she has a thousand arms enabling her to help a great number of people at the time. The top floor contains the shrine for Lady Soi Dok Mak with a statue of the Chinese Princess for whom the temple was built.
