Wat Huai Mongkhon - Hua Hin Thailand
Wat Huai Mongkol is a must see temple in Hua Hin, originally called "Wat Huai Khot". The temple is situated in Ban Huai Khot area, about 15 km from Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan.
Wat Huay Mongkol temple has the largest statue of the Buddhist monk called "Luang Phor Thuad", who lived from 1582 to 1682. The holy monk is very well known in Southern Thailand for converting sea water to fresh water by foot.
The magnificent statue, which is about 11.5 meters height and 9.9 meters width, is set on a large mound. There is an equestrian monument for King Taksin the Great in front of the huge statue of the monk.
There are two huge wooden 3-headed elephants on each side of the statue. Local people like walking in circles 3 times underneath the elephant's belly wishing for good fortune.
In addition to the main statue and temple we explore the area around the temple to include a massive golden Buddha and fish pond. If you are in the area I would recommend a short visit to experience the local Thai culture. Enjoy the video!
