On 19.1.2008 morning I went to Wat
Prasat, the famous LP
Tuad temple in Bangkok. I took a taxi there from
Yaowarat, but
unfortunately the driver had no idea where the temple was. It was only after searching around in the
Dusit district for a long time and praying to LP
Tuad for help that I was finally able to reach the temple. Entering the temple, I'm immediately greeted by a large image of LP
Tuad Towrid (Iron). I gratefully thanked LP
Tuad for guiding me to the temple.

The
Ubosot.

Inside the Ubosot is a Phra Buddha Chinaraj image.

The golden
chedi near to the
Ubosot.

Inside the side shrine there are images of LP
Tuad,
Phra Sangajaya, LP
Toh (Maitreya) and many more.

In the shelter beside the office are the statues of LP
Tuad Sivali as well as LP
Tuad Yiab Nam
Talay Jerd. Curiously, they are the same style as that of Wat
Pako,
Songkhla; except for the crystal ball that seated LP
Tuad images of Wat
Pako hold in their hands.

There was a lot of construction going on; they were building a new
Sala using the funds gained from selling this batch of amulets. We can see from the billboard in the shelter that it was the 2548 (2005)
Sala building batch.

This is the 12-inch tall LP
Tuad Sivali bucha I obtained from the temple, made from black bronze material with partial gold coating. Most of the other stuff in that batch were all sold out, but I was satisfied with the few items I got there. Will visit Wat
Prasat whenever I'm in Bangkok to pay homage to LP
Tuad.

For those of you who don't know how to go there, you can show the taxi driver this map. Wat Prasat is at the circled location.
