Wat Huai Mongkol, a famous temple in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province

📍Wat Huai Mongkol, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province

🕌 Today, we will take everyone to pay homage to Luang Pu Thuat at Wat Huai Mongkol, located in Ban Huai Khot Community, Tambon Thap Tai, Amphoe Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province. It is the place where the largest Luang Pu Thuat statue in the world is enshrined. Originally, this temple was called Wat Huai Khot. In 1952, His Majesty the King visited and established the Royal Initiative Project. He gave a new name from "Wat Huai Khot" to "Wat Huai Mongkol". 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Below the statue of Luang Pu Thuat, there is a three-headed Erawan elephant sculpture. People travel to pay homage, make wishes, and throw coins into the mouth of Erawan. They also walk under the belly of Erawan according to their beliefs. The Erawan elephant is made from 9 types of wood: teak, rak, phayung, jackfruit, paduak, red wood, tengrak, takian wood, and sandalwood. Which will help protect according to the characteristics of each auspicious tree 👍🏻👍🏻 The atmosphere inside the temple is peaceful, shady, suitable for bringing the family to worship and ask for blessings to enhance the auspiciousness of life. It is also not far from Bangkok. Drive slowly and chill before going to the sea. I assure you that you will be very full of merit and happiness. 🫶🏻🥰

⏰ Opening/Closing time: 08.00-18.00 hrs.

🚗 There is a lot of parking.
