Wat Khao Wong or Tham Narai is a beautiful and peaceful temple in Saraburi province in the central part of Thailand. It’s famous for its amazing cave and wonderful meditation center.
Wat means temple
Khao means mountain
As this temple is adjacent to the mountain, the building was built from stone beautifully and coexist with nature perfectly.
Most of Buddha images are in the cave. All of them are magnificent.
The cave is named “Tham Narai”.
Tham means cave
Narai is the name of the great King in the Ayutthaya period who stopped by the cave and stayed there overnight in ancient times.
The golden Buddha images that you will see below are the "Buddha Images for the Seven Days of the Week"; Sunday, Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. They have different unique postures.
If you were born on Thursday (like me), you will have to worship the Buddha image of Thursday and you will have good things in life. This is our belief.
There are also some beautiful Buddha images in a small room outside the cave.
The following white statue of the Goddess of Guanyin that stands on the white lotus in the water with the stone mountain in the background is very gorgeous and fascinating.
With the peaceful environment and nice surrounding nature, Wat Khao Wong is great for meditation indeed.
And this can relax both your body and mind as well.
Come and visit Wat Khao Wong, so you can prove this by yourself.
A warm welcome from the statues of cute little monks with their cheerful smiles and their friend, an adorable monkey!
Wow! This is a very nice place! A really big cave inside an old mountain! Would love to be there one day!! So green and peaceful!
Yeah! I love this place, too. It's so green and peaceful indeed. ;)
Hi @tangmo, The last photo brought me a smile but of admiration, the faces of the monks show a certain feeling, and the monkey looks very thoughtful, if I look at them all together I think the one on the left makes fun of the monkey, and the one on the right with his expression he says, he's a monkey that deserves respect, well that's what I see.
Haha! Good guess! I like your thought..... The last photo made me smile, too. Thanks for sharing this with me. ;)
Zen area looks great, marvalous structures.
Thank you very much for visiting my blog. I'm glad you like it.
