More than 15 years ago that we went to visit Tak Bat Thewo fair at Uthaithani province since it was not wellknown as present day. Last week at the end of Buddhist lent, we decided to have a revisit trip to pay homage at "Tak Bat Thewo" fair at Wat Sangkat Rattana Khiri, Uthaithani province once again.
We drove up north on Friday night, using the Western ringroad to Bang Pa In then Ayutthaya-Bang Pa Han to the main highway to the north. It took about 4 hours to reach Uthaithani. After an overnight rest at the Uthai Riverlake Resort, we started our homage trip as planned.
We would like to present our deep appreciation to Khun Veera Bamroongsri for his kind complimentary to stay at the resort with good dream.
Wat Sangkat Rattana Khiri is at the foot of Khao Sakae Krang at the end of Tha Chang Road in the municipality. Inside the main hall is “Phra Phuttha Mongkhon Sai Sit” or “Luang Pho Mongkhon”, an ancient bronze Buddha image form the Sukhothai period in the Man Wichai (Lord Buddha subduing Mara) posture. It is 1.5 metres wide and was made in the reign of King Lithai. In the open area of the temple is a stairway ascending to the top of Khao Sakae Krang totaling 449 steps. At the peak is a pavilion with a multi-tiered roof housing a replica of Lord Buddha’s footprint and a large bronze bell built in the reign of King Rama V. It is said that this is a sacred bell that visitors to the province who does not ring the bell is like on who never gets to see the province.
In addition, in one corner of the temple is a pavilion housing a statue of the father of King Rama I, the founder of the Chakri dynastr, who was born in Ban Sakae Krang.
