Hello friends, in this post I will take you to see Wat Kuan Na Kae This temple is a place for meditation. When I drove to the temple gate, I slowed down the car and took a picture. At first, I saw only the temple gate. Looking from the gate, I could barely see the temple. I hesitated, but the sign said that this was Wat Kuan Na Kae. I drove in, passed the gate into the temple area. In front, there was a wide area like a football field. There were exercise machines in the field. I turned right and parked in front of the pavilion. In that area, there was a large tree that provided shade. It was probably a Bodhi tree. There were colorful cloths wrapped around the Bodhi tree.
When you park your car, the first place I walked to was a big tree in front. In the back, there is a Buddha statue enshrined in this area. My wife and I paid our respects before walking around the temple and taking pictures of the highlights inside the temple.
In addition, there is a large green sign in this area with clear white letters that reads: Trang Province Meditation Center No. 6, Wat Khuan Na Kae, No. 6, Village No. 5, Ban Khuan Subdistrict, Mueang District, Trang Province. The green sign in this area has clear letters.
On the right hand side is a large pavilion with a Buddha statue inside as well. This area is likely to be a meeting hall. I took pictures of the outside of the beams and inside. I will take my friends to see the church. The chapel here is beautiful. The white and red contrast very well. Especially the church here has no fence or wall, which is very eye-catching. You can see it clearly from far away.
Kuan Na Kae Temple Church When I walked closer, I noticed that this church might be different from other churches because it is a Thai style church and is tilted, which is old. The roof structure of the church and the decoration of the gable are also beautiful. It is a beautiful Bai Raka Hang Hong, mixed with local art from the South of Thailand, making this church look beautiful and outstanding, visible from afar.
The area around the church has a boundary of the monks in the temple, which is Bai Sema, which will be planted around the church. This is to show the boundary of the church.
In addition, around the church, there is a book pavilion for visitors to sit and read, but I didn't go in to read because there were many monks sitting there at that time. So I went in to pay respect and ask for information about this temple. The monks were also curious about my photography, so I explained it to the monks. But it's a pity that today the church can't open the door because the key is with the abbot, who has an invitation.
The bell tower is the only pair of the church of Wat Kuan Na Kae. The beauty of the church of Wat Kuan Na Kae here is unique and very beautiful. The bell tower is located near the church, which is equally outstanding.
Then I walked along the path. In this area of the temple, there are many large trees, which are quite large. This area looks shady and cool. In some areas of the trees, there are standing Buddha statues. I walked to see the large trees and the art of sculpting the Naga statues, which at that time, a craftsman was sculpting them to make a wall outside the temple. Or is it a pity that I didn't take a picture to show my friends?
A large building which is not far from the church, I walked in through the front of the stainless steel fence, which is not closed. This area I took a picture. Inside there are colorful flags, it seems like this pavilion is holding some kind of celebration. I was curious, then I walked to the back of the pavilion, there is a small pavilion with a fence around the edge. I looked inside and saw Buddha statues with many names and many statues in this pavilion.
I walked back to the forest park, admiring the trees. The trees here are very big, tall trees that provide shade. The atmosphere is cool and comfortable. Not long after, the monks came to me again. And the monks told me about the practice of Dhamma here, including the practice of the monks in this temple. Every year, this temple opens for teaching Dhamma practice. And every year, the monks of this temple eat fruit for 15 days. I repeat, eat only fruit. For 15 days every year. I talked to the monks and got this information. I thought it was quite interesting. In this area, there is a wide area for meditation. And there is a Buddha statue enshrined in that area.
The area behind the temple, past the forest park, is the crematorium and the temple wall. The area behind the temple is where the ashes of the deceased are kept, which has recently become a pagoda with different shapes.
If you have a chance to visit Trang Province, don't forget to stop by and experience the unique beauty of the South at Wat Khuan Kae.
