Pay homage to Luang Por Phra Buddha Niramit Rattanachana Mar

🏡 Wat Chedi Hoy: In the past, Phra Khru Sunthorn Khunthada, or Luang Por Thongklueang Suntharo, went on a pilgrimage in Myanmar and studied mystical arts until he became proficient. He then returned to Tham Ong Chuk in Kanchanaburi Province. Later, he had a vision that the area where Wat Chedi Hoy is currently located was a major city named Rattanawadee 8 million years ago. Following his vision, he traveled to the site and discovered it.
🙏 Subsequently, his father purchased the land and donated it to him. He initially established a monastic center and later founded the temple in 1988. During the construction, numerous ancient giant oyster shells, thousands of years old, were unearthed. He used these ancient shells to build a chedi at the entrance and within the temple in 1995.
Key attractions within the temple include:
🏠 The Ubosot: Housing the principal Buddha image, Luang Por Phra Buddha Niramit Rattanachana Mar, also known as Luang Por Chana Mar.
⛺ The Merit-Making Pavilion: Featuring various Buddha statues in different postures.
🛕 The Shell Chedi: Two chedis located at the front of the temple, with a larger chedi currently under construction.
