Wat Ratchaprathit

Wat Phakho, Songkhla Province
🌿or Wat Ratchaprathit is considered an important place of faith and historical site in the South. It is the residence of Luang Pho Thuat Yiap Nam Talay Chut (Somdet Phakho), who the villagers believe has performed a miracle by changing seawater to fresh water.

🙏Phra Suwanna Malik Chedi Si Rattana Mahathat or what the villagers call "Golden Chedi" is the main chedi of the temple made of brick and mortar in the shape of the early Ayutthaya period, influenced by Sri Lankan and Srivijaya art. The base is a four-sided pavilion with niches on all four sides enshrining Buddha images. There is a balcony surrounding the bell-shaped body and small subsidiary chedis at the corners of the base in the Srivijaya art style. Inside, there are relics from Sri Lanka.

⛲️The well where Luang Pu Thuat washed his robes is a sacred well that it is said that Luang Pu Thuat used to bathe and wash his robes here during his Buddhist Lent. It is believed that the water from this well is sacred, helps protect, protect and bring good fortune.
