When people talk about "
Phra Sam
Tuad", they are reminded of the 3 famous LP
Tuad temples of Wat
Changhai, Wat
Saikow & Wat
Muang Yala. On 15.7.2008 I had the chance to visit Wat
Muang Yala for the first time. It lies in the heart of
Yala town, where security is relatively tight. Not surprisingly, there were no soldiers guarding this important temple.
The
Ubosot. The "PPR" emblem we see on the roof indicates the royal patronage that this temple had received.
This is the huge
Phra Sangkachai statue under the uncompleted
Chedi building.
The
Vihara where they keep all the good stuff.
Inside the
Vihara there's an altar worshipping
Phra Buddha
Chinaraj, LP
Tuad,
Somdej Toh and others.
A small LP Tuad bucha I got from the temple. It is made of Wan (herbs) powder material.
The altar inside the
Sala.
Inside
Portan Chin's
kuti, I saw this precious
Dhamma fan presented by the Crown Prince to PT.
The rest of the stuff inside
PT's kuti.
After receiving a blessing from PT Chin, I asked an old auntie (who was his assistant) to take this photo for me. PT was also very kind to give me a bullet
takrut for my own protection.
The kind auntie also treated me to some simple temple food when she learned that I had not taken my lunch. I ate moderately and thanked her for
generosity before I left. Such good people.. I'll definitely be back in the future to visit PT & the old auntie.
The newly built LP Tuad Vihara cum temple shop when I went in Jan 2009.
The 5" LP Tuad bucha I obtained in Jan 2009, made of Wan (herbs) material.
