Attraction Details :
This is the most
important and most revered Buddhist temple in Sangkhla Buri district,
where Thai and Mon people live together peacefully. The temple was built
to replace the previous temple which is now underwater. The story goes
that the now deceased Luangpo Uttama monk moved all the whole Mon
village, most of whom are stateless people, uphill to settle at the
current location allocating plots of land for every family to live
around the temple. One kilometer from the temple finds Chedi Buddhagaya
that contains Lord Buddha’s relic locals and visitors come to pray for
lucks and prospertity.Opening hours: 8.00 am - 4.30 pm
