#tripพาบินเที่ยวจีน
- Wat Phra Sri Mahathat was granted permission to be a monastery on March 20, 1941, and was a first-class royal temple, Woramahawihan type, on June 30, 1942. It was built during the time when Field Marshal P. Phibunsongkhram was the Prime Minister. He proposed to the Cabinet to build a temple near the Monument to Protect the Constitution to commemorate the democratic regime.
- Later, it received five branches of the Bodhi tree from the tree that was inherited from the tree where the Lord Buddha resided and attained enlightenment, along with soil from the pilgrimage sites, namely the place of birth, enlightenment, the place where the first sermon was delivered, and the place of nirvana. The government invited the relics, the branches of the Bodhi tree, and the soil to be enshrined at the temple.
