[CHACHOENGSAO] Wat Sothon Wararam Worawihan | Thailand [4K HDR Walking Tour]

Wat Sothon Wararam Worawihan, originally known as “Wat Hong,” the evidence states that it was built around the late Ayutthaya era. As time goes by, the Bang Pakong River eroded its banks causing Wat Hong to disappear; therefore, a new temple was built. Wat Sothon Wararam Worawihan is the ancient temple of Chachoengsao Province. It is the enshrinement place of Luang Por Phutthasothon, the revered Buddha image of many people in Thailand since the ancient times. It is located on Marupong Road, about 2 kilometers away from the downtown market. This temple was originally a private monastery, built around the late Ayutthaya era. According to history, it was firstly named as “Wat Hong” because there was swan column in the temple (swan in Thai means Hong ). Later, the swan on top of the column fell down and only the column was left. A flag was hung to replace the swan, so its name was changed to “Wat Sao Thong.” (flag in Thai means Thong). When the flag pole snapped in half, the name became “Wat Sao Thong Thon.” Regarding the name “Wat Sothon,” which means “purity” and “sacred,” it was named after the name of Phra Putthasothon or Luang Por Sothon which was enshrined in this temple. Later, Wat Sothon was appointed by His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej to become a Royal Monastery, Elementary Level, Worawihan Category, with the name of “Wat Sothonwararamworawihan” on 8 August 1958.
