at The City Pillar Shrine
According to an old Thai tradition, a city pillar had to be built upon the establishment of a new city. King Rama I had the Bangkok city pillar erected near the Temple of the Emerald Buddha on Sunday, 21 April, 1782, with the citys horoscope inside. The original pillar was made of cassia wood known as Chaiyaphruek, measuring 75 cm. in diameter and 27 cm. high. In the reign of King Rama IV, the old dilapidated pillar was replaced by a new one made of the same kind of wood, measuring 270 cm. high and standing on a base of 175 cm. wide, sheltered by a Prang-shaped shrine as it appears today. The shrine also houses images of protective deities including Thepharak, Chaopho Ho Klong, Phra Suea Mueang, Phra Song Mueang, Chaopho Chetakhup and Phra Kan Chai Si.

Samut Prakan Province, Wat Asokaram, Monastery of no sorrow, Samut Prakan, Thailand. ( 6 )
Samut Prakan is one of the central provinces of Thailand, established by the Act Establishing Changwat Samut Prakan, Changwat Nonthaburi, Changwat Samut Sakhon and Changwat Nakhon Nayok, Buddhist Era 2489 ( 1946 ), which came into force as from 9 March 1946. It is part of the Bangkok Metropolitan Region. Neighbouring provinces are Bangkok, to the north and west, and Chachoengsao to the east. Suvarnabhumi Airport (or also called New Bangkok International Airport) is located in the Bang Phli district of Samut Prakan province.
The province was created during the Ayutthaya period, with its administrative centre located at Phra Pradaeng. It was the sea port of Siam, and was secured with forts, town moats and town-walls. King Rama II started the building of the new centre at Samut Prakan in 1819, after his predecessor King Taksin had disbanded the town fortification. Altogether six forts were built on both sides of the Chao Phraya river, and on an island in the river the pagoda Phra Samut Chedi was erected. These were involved in the Paknam incident of 13 July 1893, which ended the Franco-Siamese War with the French naval blockade of Bangkok. Of the original six forts only two exist today, Phi Sua Samut and Phra Chulachomklao.
In Thai the word Samut is from Sanskrit, samudra, meaning ocean or sea, and the word Prakan is from Sanskrit, prākāra, meaning fortress, walls or stronghold.The provincial seal shows the temple Phra Samut Chedi, the most important site of Buddhist worship in the province. Provincial tree is Thespesia populnea. The provincial slogan is Marine Battle Fortresses, Chedi in the Water, Crocodile Farm, Exquisite Ancient City, Phra Pradaeng Songkran Festival, Tasty Dried Snakeskin Gourami, Rap Bua Festival, Industrial Estate.
Samut Prakan is located at the mouth of the Chao Phraya river to the Gulf of Thailand. Thus the province is also sometimes called Pak Nam the Thai word for the mouth of a river. The part of the province located on the western side of the river consist mostly of rice and prawn fields as well as mangrove forests, while the east part is the urban centre - including industrial factories. It is part of the Bangkok metropolis, the urbanization on both sides of the provincial boundary is identical. The province has a coastline of about 47.2 kilometres. Bang Pu Nature Reserve, about 12 km east of the town centre, has a large bird population. Especially during the winter the Sakdi pier at Bang Pu is very popular for Thai people feeding the wintering seagulls. The park is run jointly by the Royal Thai Army and the Thai WWF, and was officially established at the 72nd birthday of Queen Sirikit in 2004.

You can see the spires and multi tiered roof of the viharn from the highway. Telephone : 0-2395-0003
As one of the province's major temples, it has many spots of interest such as Phra Thutangkhachedi ( Dhutangachedi ) which is a complex of 13 Chedi's, and Wihan Wisuthithammarangsi, a three storey building with four porches and a superstructure in the form of a Mondop.

Centara Grand and Wat Pathum Wanaram temple in Bangkok, Thailand
A view of Centara Grand and Wat Pathum Wanaram temple in Bangkok, Thailand. Built beautifully, one gets to experience the beauty of entire Thailand in one place.
Wat Pathum Wanaram was founded by King Rama IV as a place for worship. This is why it was constructed very near his Sa Pathum Palace. It was only accessible by going through Khlong Saen Saeb (canal in Central Thailand that connects the Chao Phraya River to Chachoengsao and Prachin Buri). Its complete name is quite a mouthful: Wat Pathum Wanaram Ratcha Wora Viharn. In this temple lie the ashes of the Thai Royal family from the household of Prince Mahidol Adulyadej.

Bangkhla, Thailand (May 2013)
From our recent trip home.
Samut Prakan Pier, Ferry to Phra Pradaeng, across the Chao Phraya River, Thailand.
Samut Prakan Pier and the Chao Phraya River.
Wiboonsri Market, Samut Prakan, is full of fresh food, vegetables, sea food, fish, its where many people flock to, to buy their food. I was amazed at the quality and selection here, and it was really cheap compared to most other markets.
Samut Prakan, also known as Pak Nam, is located 29 kilometres south of Bangkok, around the area where the Chao Phraya River flows into the Gulf of Thailand. It is a town of the Ayutthaya period. Samut Prakan is home to countless historical and cultural sites. It occupies an area of 1,004 square kilometres and is administratively divided into 5 districts ( Amphoes ) and 1 sub-district ( Ging Amphoe ) Amphoe Muang Samut Prakan, Amphoe Phra Pradaeng, Amphoe Bang Phli, Amphoe Bang Bo, Amphoe Phra Sumut Chedi, and Ging Amphoe Bang Sao Thong.
In Thai the word samut is from Sanskrit, Samudra means ocean or sea and prakan means fortress.
Samut Prakan is located at the mouth of the Chao Phraya river to the Gulf of Thailand. Thus the province is also sometimes called Pak Nam , the Thai word for the mouth of a river. The part of the province located on the western side of the river consist mostly of rice and prawn fields as well as mangrove forests, while the east part is the urban centre - including industrial factories. It is part of the Bangkok metropolis, the urbanization on both sides of the provincial boundary is identical. The province has a coastline of about 47.2 kilometre's.
Bang Pu Nature Reserve, about 12 km east of the town center, has a big bird population. Especially during the winter the Sakdi pier at Bang Pu is very popular for Thai people feeding the wintering seagulls. The park is run jointly by the Royal Thai Army and the Thai WWF, and was officially established at the 72nd birthday of Queen Sirikit in 2004.
The HTMS Maeklong, a former Royal Thai Navy ship is moored in concrete at Chulachomklao Fort at the mouth of the Chao Phraya in Amphoe Phra Samut Chedi.
Two major tourist attractions of the province are located in Amphoe Mueang Samut Prakan, the capital district: Mueang Boran or Ancient City or now Ancient Siam, a park that features downscaled replicas of all major historical buildings of Thailand; and the Crocodile Farm.
Besides being the home of Suvarnabhumi Airport, Amphoe Bang Phli is famous for the annual Lotus Flower ( Rap Bua ) festival, which usually takes place on the full moon in October.

Wat Yansangwararam ,Bang Lamung Mountains, Chon buri Province, Thailand. ( 3 )
Set in the Banglamung mountains this towering Temple can be seen for miles. I first saw this temple from the Viharnra Sien or Anek Kusala Sala Temple. It’s the Chinese temple mentioned in this book. I asked my friend Sutin who was driving the taxi and he told me all about it. So the following day, I made sure the first trip was to this incredible temple sat in beautifully landscaped gardens. There is a large lake that sets the canvas for this temple, you can see Pattaya city from the top of the tall temple.
As you drive into the temple you enter from a long winding road, on the right hand side is the beautiful lake setting. You are then met by a tall arched gateway leading into the grounds. This lake has several Pavilion halls scattered around it. These interesting Pavilion halls are in various and unique styles, modelled in different nationalities architecture. There are seven built here in the style of Lanna ~Thai, Central Thailand, Singapore ~ Chinese, Chinese ~ Thai , India, Japanese , and Swiss. Each of the halls has an image of dragons playing with water, which represents the kindness of the king of Thailand and are spreading this message to all the Thai people. This area is very beautiful and makes a very relaxing & calming place to visit.
During 1976, Khun Kajorn along with Khun Nithewvadee Aontrakarn offered a large section of land, to Somdet Phra Yarnsangworn the Supreme Patriarch, who was then the head of the Thai Monastic Order. Now, the complex is under the patronage of the current Thai King, King Bhumibol Adulyadej ~ Rama IX, for establishing a temple named Yansarnworn. While establishing the temple, Khun Nithewvadee and Khun Suarree Aontrakarn offered more land and currently the temple now stands in around 366 rai or 146 acres. It was built to honour the Kings of Thailand, past and present
Wat Yansangwararam is said to stand for heaven for those who love to meditate and practice the teachings. Wat Yansangwararam also offers different meditation courses for those that desire to follow this meditation. The meditation classes are held from 6.00 am to 18.00 pm. The location of Wat Yansangwararam is within the Jomtien Area. Visitors need to drive along Sukhumvit Road from Pattaya City to Sattahip, look for the Kilometre 160 marker. After passing Ban Ampher, you will see a sign showing Wat Yansangwararam is on the left hand side. After turning left, carry on for about 5 Km, and you then arrive at the temple area. Visitors who do not have a private vehicle can go there by hiring a taxi or Songthaew.
The main temple building of Wat Yansangwararam is known for its modern design and is built in a very different style to many Thai temples. A pavilion called Mondop or Mandapa contains a replica of a footprint of the Buddha. Inside a large white 40 metre tall Chedi are many priceless relics said to belong to the Buddha and his followers. Two beautiful statues are on display outside of the current King and Queen of Thailand and near is the statue of the current Kings mother. There is a large car park big enough for coaches and taxis and cars. Next to the car park is a large eating hall / restaurant where Thai food can be bought.
Inside the towering temple it’s very modern with modern art and works of art scattered around the interior. Mood music is played while you wander round this unusual temple building. Outside the grass areas are in need of a gardener, it’s a bit of a mess, it could be made so much better and lets the whole area down when the rest of it is very picturesque. Don’t forget to visit the shrine on top of the hill, just follow the road past the temple buildings and the Monks dwellings, keep bearing left and you will come to a large parking area. On your right are the steps to the hilltop shrine. Also within the temple complex is a school and a hospital and nursery and nursing stations for endangered wildlife.
