Kale with Mom to Worship at Wat Klang Bang Wai, a Landmark Cave Temple in Chai Nat

Khana's house is in Sing Buri province, which is a neighboring province to Chai Nat province.

Because of the short distance from home, my mother easily agreed to leave the house.

But before going to the temple in Khana, my mother told me that she wanted to visit this temple first.

Wat Khositharam

My mother said..."I've wanted to come here for a long time, I want to pay respects to Luang Pho Kwai."

// I've wanted to come here for a long time, but I've never asked Khana to come with me. You should be spanked!!

Park in the front parking lot, which is spacious. Then walk straight in.

You will find the Luang Pho Guay Pavilion. There are flowers for worshiping the Buddha available at the front entrance.

Please provide the sentence or phrase you would like me to translate from Thai to English.

Upon entering, the right side features a prayer area for monks.

The ceiling is adorned with exquisitely carved wood, showcasing remarkable beauty and craftsmanship.

Upon entering the innermost chamber, visitors will encounter a glass room.

This room houses the preserved remains of Luang Pho Guay in a glass coffin.

In front of the room, Kan Na and her mother pay their respects to the revered monk with flowers.

A resident monk then invites them into the glass room, reminding them that photography is prohibited inside.

They are instructed to make a wish and walk three times under Luang Pho Guay's glass coffin.

This ritual is a common practice among visitors seeking blessings and auspiciousness.

In front of the room, there is a bronze statue of Luang Phor Kuay.

Then walk out to the front area.

There will be an open-air pavilion. There will be a statue of Luang Pho Guay, similar to the one inside, but larger.

Here, you can light incense and candles as usual, along with fresh flowers.

You can also apply gold leaf to the Buddha statue.

Whose mother is this? She's so beautiful. 55555

It has been a long-held belief that if you ring the bell, you will have a good reputation.

Like the sound of the bell, let's go... ring it loud and clear. Amen~

Exiting the pavilion on the other side, you will find two traditional Thai houses standing side by side.

This is supposed to be Luang Pho Guay's museum, but unfortunately, it's closed today. T_T

The other house is a guest house, so Kale and her mother decided to take some photos outside instead.

This is a paragraph with text aligned to the center.

On the far left side, you will find the church.

On the other side, there is a large fountain pool, which is an ancient and sacred pool.

The water in the pool is used to make holy water, and the soil in the pool is used to make Buddha statues.

It is believed that Luang Pho Kuay dug this pool and placed a spell on it.

At the pavilion outside, there is a bucket of holy water for those who come to worship and pray to drink.

Or you can fill a bottle and take it home for free.

Passed by, read and liked it ^^

After paying respects to Luang Pho Guay, as my mother wished, I drove for another forty minutes.

I arrived at the temple that Khana had intended to visit. It is called Wat Klai Kang Wan (Khao Sarapat Dee Si Charoen Tham).

It is located in Ban Chian Subdistrict, Hankha District, Chai Nat Province.

Upon arriving at the entrance, read the signs and drive up the mountain. It's quite a distance, too far to walk, so driving is the most convenient option. Be cautious and drive slowly as there may be oncoming traffic. During the ascent, enjoy the panoramic views of the rice fields below. The scenery is stunning, similar to the rice fields at Wat Tham Suea in Kanchanaburi. (Note: I wasn't able to take photos along the way because the car behind me was following closely, and there was no opportunity to stop.) Upon reaching the top, you'll be greeted by a warm smile and offered free drinking water by a nun.

Religious books are available for reading and making merit next to the water table.

Please translate the following sentence from Thai to English:

Enter the pavilion in front of the simulated sandstone cave.

There are flowers, incense, and candles available. Please pay your respects and make a wish here.

Then you can go inside to apply gold leaf to the Buddha statue.

Upon entering the simulated sandstone cave, one encounters a space adorned with stalactites and stalagmites. Glass panels allow light to filter through, illuminating the cave walls with a shimmering effect. The intricate details and realistic appearance make it difficult to distinguish from a natural cave. The upper portion of the cave houses a sacred relic, adding to its spiritual significance.

The center houses a large Buddha statue.

In the center of the cave, there are four footprints of the Buddha, which we can apply gold leaf to. These are the footprints of the four Buddhas: Kakusandha, Konagamana, Kassapa, and Gautama. The golden footprint with a marble pattern, which contains holy water, is inside a glass case and cannot be gilded. We can only pay our respects and admire it.

The cave is surrounded by Buddha statues in various postures.

In addition to the small Buddha statues, there are also large ones enshrined, such as the Buddha in the posture of subduing the naga, the rain-giving Buddha, and the Buddha in the posture of asking for rain. The arrangement of the Buddha statues and the lighting make the Buddha statues look very beautiful.

On the other side, there is a bronze statue of Venerable Samruam, the former abbot of Wat Klaikangwol.

After admiring the beauty of the cave for a long time,

I invited my mother to take some pictures, which made her complain. 5555555

So I reluctantly left the cave, but I wasn't ready to go home just yet. ^^

There are animals roaming freely around the temple.

Kanacha invited her mother to take pictures together at the temple courtyard before going home.

Upon arrival, they first encountered a peacock, but after waiting and waiting, it wouldn't spread its tail feathers.

So Kanacha only got pictures of its closed tail. // It was about to rain, and her mother was getting impatient to go home. 55555555

A large sign reading "Deer Meadow" appeared next.

Following the sign, Kana drove on, spotting numerous deer and muntjacs along the way.

They roamed in herds, and visitors were allowed to walk among them or feed them.

All the animals seemed very accustomed to human presence, remaining calm even when approached closely.

They also kept their eyes on Kana, making it easy for her to take photos. The deer looked directly at the camera in almost every shot!

Look! We're walking freely here.

There are deer, gazelles, peacocks, and even chickens. The chickens are always crowing, haha!

But what are you taking pictures of, Kana? Why are you zooming in so much? > <

Peekaboo!!

Kanjana captured this little squirrel running by. So cute!

The rain finally came down...the moment I ran to the car, it started raining!!

But today, I'm happy that I was able to drag my mom out of the house. 5555555

Driving back home in the rain...

The little rascal was overjoyed, wagging his tail, barking, and whining all the way.

He even climbed into the car to find me because I wouldn't get out of the car. 555555

And this little rascal is one of the reasons why I don't like to travel far. > <

I'm afraid Richer will starve... Yes, her name is Richer.

Wat Klang Bang Kaew is a place for meditation

and a conservation area for forests and wildlife.

I asked the nun, 'Do many people come here?'

The nun replied, 'There are always people coming, but there are a lot of people during the festival.'

It's very easy to get here. All the way I drove

The road was very empty. I was the only one driving at some point. 5555555

And along the way, there were green rice fields and a good atmosphere all the way.

Chai Nat is not far from Bangkok. On weekends, try to find time to pay respects to the Buddha.

to bring good luck here. In addition to making merit, you will also get beautiful pictures to take home.

See you again on the next trip. Thank you very much for reading this far.
