Hello everyone, in this post I will take you to see a temple in Trang Province called Wat Khuan Khan, which is an old temple. I traveled by car in the afternoon. When I arrived at Wat Khuan Khan, I parked my car near the temple gate for a bit. Then I got out of the car. In this area, there is a pavilion with a Buddha statue enshrined, which is a statue and has a sign that says Phor Than Num. So I went into the pavilion and paid my respects before walking to other places in the temple.
Father Than Num is a former monk who is highly respected by the locals in this area. The locals say that he is famous for curing illnesses and helping people. After his death, the locals joined forces to build this pavilion as a memorial to his good deeds.
After paying homage to Father Num, in the large courtyard of the temple, there were many elderly men playing petanque. They were very interested in me. They even walked over to ask what I was taking pictures for. I answered them in full that I was taking them to write a post about the temple. I stood and talked with the elderly for a long time about the history of this place. In addition, in the area around the front of the temple and around the temple gate, there are shops selling things in the morning, similar to a flea market. However, these shops have now closed because it is the afternoon. Vendors come to sell in the morning before noon, so the market will be full. This information was obtained from the elderly or senior citizens.
In front of the Father's pavilion, there is a Buddha statue in this area. It has a unique characteristic of being in a standing position.
In addition, near the morning market, in the temple, there is a Buddha statue. The standing position in this area has a history in front for you to read.
Then I walked to take pictures of the temple gate, which was very beautiful. The temple gate should be very prominent with its beautiful stucco patterns, which tell the story of religion and the culture of this village. The various patterns are meticulously created to create beautiful works.
I walked to the church area, which was visible from a distance. It was beautiful and had a style that combined ancient Thai art. When I walked closer to the church, there were many pigeons living in the church area. In addition to the beautiful grounds, there was also an old boat parked in this area, which was a Khuan Khan boat.
When I walked to the front area, this area should be a bathroom with a boat parked there, it is also an old boat. It looks like a fishing boat. I am very curious. This boat looks old and rotten. In this area, I was lucky to have a middle-aged man. So I asked about this boat. In conclusion, it is an old boat. In the past, it was used as a boat for pulling the Buddha image. Now, there is a new boat parked in the pavilion on the other side. The young man said that I can walk to see that boat. In addition to the boat, there is also an old wooden house in the temple area. I am also curious that this old wooden house is a wooden house. This area used to be an old monk's hut.
I walked around the temple taking pictures of the yellow bell tower, which was far away from where I was standing. I took this picture from a distance because it seemed like there were many cars parked there. It seemed like the area was crowded with people in the large pavilion, so I chose not to walk in that area. I took a picture to show my friends that this area was a bell tower.
The walls of Khuan Khan Temple have pagodas to keep the ashes of the deceased. The pagodas are in different forms, but I think that it is similar to every temple that uses walls to keep the ashes of the deceased. Today, I have to say goodbye for now. When I have a chance, I will go take pictures of other temples to show my friends again. Temples in Trang Province
