Pay homage to the ashes of Ya Mo, an ancient temple in the middle of Korat
🎈At Wat Sala Loi, Nakhon Ratchasima
🎈Location: Na Mueang Subdistrict, Mueang Nakhon Ratchasima District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province
🎈 Wat Sala Loi, Nakhon Ratchasima was built by Thao Suranaree or Ya Mo and Phraya Suriyadet or Palat Thongkham, her husband, in the year 2370 after the end of the war at Thung Samrit. While leading the army back to Nakhon Ratchasima, Khunying Mo stopped at Tha Tako and ordered her soldiers to make a raft in the shape of a fortune-telling pavilion and let it go along Lam Takong. She prayed that if the raft in the shape of a pavilion floated and got stuck somewhere, she would build a temple as a memorial.
The raft floated and got stuck on the right bank of Lam Takong, which was an abandoned temple. Therefore, a chapel in the shape of a ship was built, which is the current Wat Sala Loi. Inside the temple, there is a pagoda containing Ya Mo's ashes, as well as a statue of Thao Suranaree or Ya Mo. And the statue of Chao Phraya Mahisarathibodi or the Golden Deputy for worship and blessing. People often come to pray for love.
