"Wat So Thoon" was a historic temple erected in the 1764 year in the late Ayutthaya dynasty, once called "Wat Hong".

As a temple that enshrines "Sauton Buddha" in Honbun, as a temple that later became called "Wat Soratone" and has a benefit of "disease-free and disaster", a famous temple where many visitors come from all over Thailand is.

"Sawton Buddha" is the most worshiped Buddhist image in Thailand and it is believed and called by people such as "Pula · Putta · Sauton" or "Ruan · Pau · Sauton".

The white marble main hall with a sharp Mondouf roof like a palace (a method of building a protrusion on the top with stacked roofs) is Ratanakosin (present dynasty) style architecture, the lives of King King Pumipong (Rama 9 world) It was completed by 1996 year.

In front of the building there are lots of statues of rabbits, the zodiac signs of King Bhumibol.

From BTS Ekamai Station 2 Exit Get "X Bus Terminal" from "East Bus Terminal" to "Chatunsao · Bus Terminal" on 2 Walk, and get on the Rotto (Meeting Ban). (Duration: 1 hours and half)

Tickets for Rotto to "Chatunsao · Bus Terminal" are purchased at the 18 number window in "East Bus Terminal". (Price 99B)

From "Chachunsao · Bus Terminal" to "Watt · Softon" it takes about 10 ~ 15 minutes with tuk tuk use.

It is relatively close to the famous "Wat Saman Rattanaeram" and "The Centennial (Baan Mai) Market" which is famous for pink Ganesha, so there are package tours of travel companies traveling around 3 places at the same time.

We visited 3 locations 1 days in the order of "Wat Saman Rattaneram" and "100 Year Market", "Wat Soratone" famous for Pink Ganesha.

As seen from Chachunsao station, the "100 Year Market" is located about 4km to the east, "Wat Saman Rattanaeram" is about 15 km east, "Wat Sorton" is about 3 km south, I am doing the following way.

In truth, I wanted to ride Sonteu from "Chatunsao Station" to "Wat So Thongon", but I did not come even if I waited for a while, so I used tuk tuk.

In addition, there were 2 Thai girls waiting for Song Taew to “Wat So Thong”. It was!

It is tuk-tuk to get around 100B in the market price, but Thai girls negotiated, so they are quite cheap. Thank you.

"Wat So Thong" rising on a vast site is a sophisticated beauty characterized by the roof of the white appearance and sharp golden decoration like a palace.

Even the street lamps are painted in gold, the courtyard is lush with lush grass, well maintained.

In front of the main hall flower etc of the offering are sold and there are places where you can lend wearing clothes to those who have a lot of exposure, so let's borrow clothes and wear it and go to the main hall.

When taking off the shoes and entering the main hall of marble construction, "Sauton Buddha" and guardian Buddha are enshrined in the chapel.

The worshipers had incense stickers, provided flowers and drinks, and prayed hard.

Although it is said that "Wat Soratone" has the benefit of "disease-free and breathing", people are believed that "any wish will come true."

People who have come to wish have customs to dedicate raw eggs or boiled eggs and dedicate to the annex.

Also, when praying, please dedicate eggs and there is a theory that the wish will come true as there are more eggs, so some worshipers dedicate a lot of eggs.

The ceiling of the chapel is high, the universe is drawn, and the marble floor is drawn with living things such as fish and the sea, and it is precisely worked.

Behind it was a splendid dora and a drum.

There was a Chinese temple beside the main hall.

"Chatuchaoo Province" is a prefecture where Chinese immigrants live long ago, so you can see Chinese-style buildings everywhere.

After passing through the approach path from the main hall, walk along the Baan Pakon River, there is a corridor along the river.

The tiles at the feet are shiny and shiny colorful, and even the surrounding street lamps are decorated like golden phoenix, and each one feels high in artistry.

The spacious corridor was beautiful even if you looked at everywhere, and the time was relaxed while looking at the river, so I was able to spend a pleasant time.
