Wat Hiranyaram (Wat Bang Khlan) Previously called Wat Wang Tako, this monastery is located in Amphoe Pho Thale on the bank of the Nan Kao River. One of the interesting things is antiques which have been collected long ago. Most of the antiques were given by donators. Among them are Buddha images,votive tablets, pottery, etc. Its attractive building "Chai Bawon Museum" is a two storey structure in Mondop shape. The life size bronze statue of Luang Pho Ngoen, the most revered Buddhist monk who used to stay at this monastery for the Buddist Lent during the rainy season, is housed on the second floor. This museum is the first and the only museum in Phichit. |
