After visiting Wat Pho Kao Ton, I went to Wat Pikunthong to pay homage to LP Pae (1905-1999), arguably the most respected monk of Singburi province. He was a master of wicha who created many batches of famous amulets, especially Somdej amulets. 
Outside the LP Pae memorial hall are black bronze statues of the master, encased in glass.
Inside the memorial hall is a very "live" wax image of LP Pae. Behind the image is the ornate stupa containing his relics.
A portrait of LP Pae at the side.

LP Pae's rainbow-colored Somdej amulets chanted in 2539 (1996).
Crossing the road I approached the famous giant Buddha image of Wat Pikunthong - Phra Buddha Suwanmongkon Mahamuni.
The Sala below the Buddha image.
The Vihara on the right side LP Tuad, Somdej Toh and LP Pae.
The Somdej Toh image. The Katha taught here is again different from other temples:Namo Tassa (3x)

A close up shot of the golden Buddha.
A long straight road leads straight towards the Buddha image. This is called "road clash" in Fengshui terms. There's also no guardian deities or Singhas to ward off the negative chi at the entrance. I wonder why they built it this way.

Hey ! Strange.?? You did not obtain any Bucha this time round which you usually would when visit any famous temple.Hee..hee..
Sometimes I'm afraid of collecting too much..
Chow in Thai is either rent or hire, however, if it is added in front of the word Phra (chow Phra), then its stands for to buy a buddha image, you could refer to Thai Dictionary written by Prof Tianchai Iamworamate, so I hope you could use your blog to share with most Singaporeans who use this word wrongly quite often. Thank you
