Wat huay mongol is a very naked place. And he built most recently in 2004, but so many tourists come here that the temple had become one of the most popular among Thai tourists. It’s all about the big figure of the Buddha Luang Phor Tuad (Laung Poo Tuad), only it is not the Buddha himself, but the legendary monk, known throughout Thailand, which worked wonders, and in particular, turned the sea water to drink while praying.

At first I was a little upset about what came out to come to the temple. Wat Huay Mongkol only late in the evening, just after the flight of a thousand bats. But you know, there is something in it – to be near Black monk in the night when he glitters from the highlight, and people around the minimum, a certain mystery and mystery present in the air.
The statue itself is very large, about 11 meters high, and 10 in width. It is traditionally located on the pedestal to which they lead stairs from different sides. If you walk around the shape, you will see other images of a monk from his life, much smaller. Black monk grants protection from all bad and elemental disasters.

Down on the ground there are two amusing statues of elephants carved from tree. It’s hard to imagine how much labor was invested in this work! The elephant is also not easy, it fulfills desires, if you go under 9 times in a circle and put a coin in your mouth. By the way, you will be under him, do not forget to rub his personal belongings, this is also fortunate
