Wat Chantharangsi

Wat Chantharangsi

Anyone who pass Ang Thong Province and would like to pray for “good health and fresh life and body”, we suggest to pray from Luang Pho Sot. Also there is a free vegetarian food for Buddhists on Saturday and Sunday at Sala Virat Kanchana Sakka Sopan. Wat Chantharangsi’s area covers two sides of the road. On the east side, there is a sacred Buddha statue. People called this “Luang Pho Yok”. And the west side of the road is Phra Maha Wihan Chaturamuk Phra Mongkhon Thep Muni (Luang Pho Sot). It is the world’s biggest statue. The total statue was built from metal covered with gold. It is 6 meters and 9 inches wide and 9.9 meters high. The construction started in 1996 by Phra Tham Rattanakon, the assistant abbot of Wat Paknam Pasi Charoen. Moreover, he built the statue of Guan Yim with thousand hands. It is 5 meters and 8 inches high and was made from giant scented wood from China. The statue was imported and located here on 15 March 2009. Travelling Wat Chantharangsi is in Ban Na, Mu 9, Hua Phai Sub-District. From the 49th km. of Asia Route, turn left to the Rural Road (5042) for 3 kilometers or go straight and turn left to Mueang District of Ang Thong Province for about 1 kilometer. Turn left at the temple’s name sign and continue driving for about 1 kilometer.
