The Surin City Pillar

The Surin City Pillar

Located on Lak Mueang Road, 500 metres
west of city hall, the shrine is a sacred icon of
the city. At first, the shrine did not house any
pillar. In 1968, the Fine Arts Department has
designed a new city shrine and got golden
cassia log from Mr. Prasith Maneekan, Amphoe
Sai Yok, Kanchanaburi, and made it the city
pillar. The log is 3 metres long and 1 metre long
in circumcircle. The rite and celebration took
place on March 15, 1974.
