Wat Si Roi and Wat Pa Mok - Thailand 2022 - Ang Thong District
In 1760, King Alaungpaya of Burma ordered an invasion of Myeik, which was a part of Ayutthaya Kingdom. At that time, Khun Rong Palat Chu, a well-known fighter, grouped up and led four hundred sword-fighters under the name 'Kong Attamat' to accompany the army. His group received a command to obstruct the Burma's army at Wa Khao Bay.
The battle began and continued through night until noon the next day. Although many Burmese soldiers were killed in the melee, the smaller number of Thai soldiers could not resist the larger opponent's army and lost their lives in the war. Some were herded and drown in the sea, some were crushed by elephants.
This tragedy discouraged the whole town of Wiset Chai Chan; villagers were too overwhelmed with the lost to do anything. As a sign of moving forward and memorial for the sacrifice of the brave soldiers , Wat Si Roi (literally meaning 'four hundreds' temple) was founded in 1770 to enshrine 'the spirits' of the Wiset Chai Chan soldiers.
Another great temple near Wat Si Roi is Wat Pa Mok.
A beautiful gilded reclining Buddha image is located within the compound of Wat Pa Mok Worawihan. The image nearly 23 meters from topknot to feet, believed to originate from the Sukhothai period.
According to lore, this Buddha image was swept along the river and finally sank in front of this temple. Locals recovered the massive statue, and enshrined it in the temple. King Naresuan the Great paid homage to the image before leading his army in an attack against his rival Phra Maha Upparacha.
Both temples are very historic and important to the local Thais and well worth a visit to see.
Enjoy the video!
