archaeological essence

Wat Phleng is a Rat temple. Under the Maha Nikaya Sangha History of the temple, Department of Religious Affairs (Department of Religious Affairs, 1983:215-216) said that it was built and received the Wisung Kham Sima in 1827 or in the reign of King Rama 3, considering the original ubosot that was built in the style of a popular Chinese temple. together in those days (Currently, the temple adheres to the year 1827, this is the year the temple was founded)

The temple has prospered until around 2460 B.E., it lacks maintenance. causing the sanasanas to deteriorate, without a monk until becoming the most abandoned temple

When Prayoon Uluchata (1971:101) traveled to explore in 1970 recorded that “in the middle of the garden between Khlong Bang Noi and Khlong Bang Phrom. It is the next abandoned temple to the north of Wat Krajomthong. The ubosot of the Preah Vihear still remains. But the roof is completely perforated and the Buddha image inside belongs to the Ayutthaya period. But the stucco-patterned Viharn pillar belongs to King Rama III. show that the third reign came to renovate, but then couldn't stand it Back to desert again... Phra Ajarn Bunma Abbot of Wat Mai Thepphon You have kindly told me that this temple was just abandoned more than 40 years ago.”

Later, in this area, there are more densely populated houses. Going to make merit at other temples is inconvenient. Therefore, Phra Samut Thongbai Tikkhawiro was invited to restore the abandoned temple. Finally, the Ministry of Education announced that the abandoned Wat Phleng was a temple with monks on June 14, 1979 (Department of Religious Affairs 1983).

Sarun Thongpan (2006? :163) stated that the villagers in this area believed that This temple was built since the reign of King Taksin, when the army came and built it, including the construction of "Luang Pho Sin", the main Buddha image in the chapel. The elders also told each other that Originally, there were canals around the temple on all 4 sides, when Phra Tao Taksin came by boat.

But some legends say that King Taksin used to march past. and sat in the Vihara of Luang Pho Daeng (Wichyada Thongpang and Sarun Thongpan 2012:210)

Ubosot Width 5 meters, length 16 meters, facing east. It was originally a Chinese cab. When dilapidated, it was rebuilt as a Thai style, with a lower 2-tiered roof, a gable-patterned Na Kho Kho or Kiat Muk, surrounded by moldings. The windows are teak.

The presiding Buddha image in the ubosot is named “Luang Por Sin”. It is a bronze Buddha image in the posture of meditation, with a lap face of 2 cubits.

Sarun Thongpan (2006? :164) collected data in Wat Phleng in 2006, during the renovation of the new ordination hall. and got the information that the technician told me Has started repair work 10 days before the end of Buddhist Lent year 2548 has restored the walls inside and outside the chapel. by cracking off the old cement The original brick was found as an ancient brick, size 1 cubit, over 200 years old, but it was completely crumbly. therefore had to be reinforced with mon bricks This chapel has no pillars. When the carpenter peeled off the mortar on the wall, he saw that he had masonry together. In the corners, bricks were placed on top of each other. The outer pole is a pseudo pole.

The Temple It is located on the side or north of the chapel. inside enshrined "Luang Por Ta Daeng" is a meditation Buddha image. regarded as very sacred Most often come to fix the problem by lighting firecrackers. or offering boiled eggs There is a legend that in the days when there was still a lottery, people came to ask for fortune from the principal Buddha image in the Viharn of Wat Phleng, and they were always so fulfilled that Khun Ban, who was responsible for the lottery, ordered people to bring a nail to hammer the eye of this Buddha image. to prevent gold from seeing the lottery numbers that will be issued again After birth, red water flowed out along the nails. The villagers are called "Luang Por Ta Daeng" (Saran Thongpan 2006? :165) (This legend is similar to the story of Luang Por To. Wat Kai Tia)

But some say that the reason for calling Luang Pho Ta Daeng It's because there was once an epidemic of conjunctivitis. until someone came on top of him to be healed from this disease and achieved results Another legend tells that Luang Por Daeng is a sibling of Luang Por in Viharn of Wat Prasat (Saran Thongpan 2006? :164-165).
