Temple Wat Panan Choeng


Wat Panan Choeng

This is another ancient temple 5 minutes away from the temple of victory. This temple is an old monastery housing Thailand’s largest ancient Buddha image known as “Luang Po To”. It also housed the Chinese三宝佛宫 and 观音菩萨 believe to protect those who sail, since much sailing was done by the Chinese then, for trade or for migration. As this temple and many others were built at the centre of river, boat ride service is available to cruise round and view the magnificent and ancient temple structures.
