Wat Khun Sis was built on November 20, 1930. It was originally named Wat Ton Riang, after the name of the village.
This temple is located at Wat Khun Sith, a temple of the Mahanikaya sect. It is located at 193, Village No. 2, Ban Pho Subdistrict, Mueang District, Trang Province.

Hello, friends. Today, I will take everyone to experience the peace and beauty of Wat Khun Sith. Wat Khun Sith is not far from the main road. Just drive into the alley and you will find the temple. It is located near a kindergarten. The atmosphere around the temple is quiet and shady. In front of the temple is a large courtyard with many large trees that provide a lot of shade.

When I parked the car, I got out of the car with my mobile phone and Canon camera. I wanted to take pictures of the beauty and peace of this temple.



I walked to the temple gate, which was the first place I noticed. In this temple area, the temple wall is where the ashes of the deceased are kept, which is a common tradition in temples. Since I took pictures of temples and visited many temples, it seemed similar to keeping the ashes of the deceased at the temple gate or in pagodas and coffins at various points in the temple. In the area, next to the temple wall, there was a red pavilion that stood out a lot. I walked closer to see what kind of pavilion it was, but it looked like a pavilion in Chinese architecture, so I took a picture.



Then I walked into the Sala area. This area felt comfortable. Inside the Sala, there were Buddha statues in various postures and for worship. There were many Buddha statues enshrined, each with its own characteristics and beauty. Next to the Sala, there were two large standing Buddha statues in this area. I stood and looked for a while, then I took a picture.



The standing Buddha statue in the blessing posture, symbolizing compassion and blessing peace. In this area, the Buddha statue helps make this area look peaceful and magical. There is also another Buddha statue standing not far away.



This Buddha statue is a monk standing peacefully amidst a large tree. It is a simple and peaceful looking monk statue, wearing a clean and neat yellow robe. The dark blue one is holding a walking stick and the left hand is holding a bag slung over the shoulder, which makes me see that the simple life or way of life of a monk or intends to live in a humble way according to the teachings of the Lord Buddha.


I walked along the road inside Wat Khun Sit. In this area, I found a large pavilion with a wide area where I could clearly see the treasures of art and Dharma hidden in this area. I started walking into the pavilion with excitement at what I saw in front of me, many Buddha statues, many of which were enshrined in this pavilion. Each statue had beautiful characteristics and different gestures. I walked around to admire the beauty in this area. In addition to walking around, I also took pictures. In addition, inside this large pavilion, there was a room, but the room was locked, but you could see through the iron door. Of course, there were many Buddha statues in this area. I walked back to the area in front of the Buddha statue to take pictures of the replica of the Buddha's footprint enshrined in the pavilion. These footprints of the Buddha are a symbol of faith and respect for Buddhism. So I bowed down to the Buddha's footprint before taking pictures.



At this large pavilion, on the side is a storage area for boats, which are the boats used to pull the Buddha image of this village. The boats are very beautiful. There are 7 Naga heads, each head decorated with red and gold patterns, very delicate and beautiful. Once again.



Inside the pavilion, which is another pavilion, there is an iron door blocking it. It's a pity that the door is locked with a key, but I was able to take pictures with my Canon camera. I asked permission from the monks in that area. The monks said that I could take pictures as I pleased. Since I took pictures of the temple, I saw that this temple is different from other temples in many ways, such as the collection of ashes of the deceased on both sides of the walls, and there are more Buddha images than other temples. This is the difference that I saw and noticed about the composition of the village and the faith of the villagers who have a lot of money to donate.



In the area of ​​the pavilion next to the large Buddha statue, there are many objects and a large bell in this area.



Then I walked out of that area to the resting area in the middle of the temple, which has many trees. There is a resting area in this area, and there is a bell tower. I sat and rested for a while. I observed around this area, it was quiet, even though there was a kindergarten in front.



The area where I sat was not only a good place to rest, but the trees also provided good shade. The trees in this area were probably Indian trumpet trees. While I was sitting, the light did not hit me at all, so it provided good shade. This area is very suitable for relaxing. While I was sitting, I checked and looked at the pictures I had taken. I took quite a lot of pictures of this temple because there were quite a few Buddha images. Then I got up and walked to the temple area. I walked around the church area and looked at the side and front of the church. The church had very beautiful walls and doors. The windows of this church were wooden windows. They looked simple, but beautiful in another way. I walked around the church area to find the entrance, but in the end, I found that the church was locked both inside and outside. So I walked around taking pictures outside and then sat down on a chair next to the church. While sitting, I looked around and enjoyed the atmosphere. I noticed a small beehive that had just made a nest. I think these bees must have just come to live here. I think they think that this place is a sanctuary, so it must be safe for them.
