#Places to visit near Bangkok
🏡Wat Pho Thong Lang was established in 2319. It is said that during the Second Fall of Ayutthaya in 2310, a wealthy man buried treasure between a Bodhi tree and a golden shower tree. Later, villagers dug it up and found it, so they sold the treasure and used the money to build a temple. Therefore, the name was given to Wat Pho Thong Lang, which later changed to Wat Pho Thong Lang.
Important and interesting things in the temple include:
🏠Ubosot, built in 2522, enshrining the principal Buddha image in the Mara-Vijaya posture
