Hello, friends. Today I posted very late. It's already late afternoon (Thailand time). Last night I had the opportunity to take my daughter to apply gold leaf to a Buddha statue, an annual event at Wat Yai Ban Bo, near Phra Ram 2 Road, outbound (Ban Phaeo).There were a lot of people and a lot of food, so there were a lot of pictures, but I couldn't take pictures of every food shop. Some shops didn't allow it. It's almost 2 p.m. and I still haven't finished posting. It's almost 2 pm and I still haven't finished posting.

 This year's annual event at Wat Yai Ban Bo, February 8-16, 2025. Apply gold leaf to Luang Pho Pa Lelai, ask for blessings from Luang Pho To, an old Buddha statue. This temple is over 300 years old. Ask for blessings from Thao Wessuwan. Go up to see its beauty.

 Wat Yai Ban Bo is an ancient temple located in Ban Bo Subdistrict, Mueang District, Samut Sakhon Province. Inside the temple, there are old churches, old buildings, and many old Buddha images. The church itself is more than 300 years old, as can be seen from the use of large wooden pillars, brick walls, and wooden ceilings, which are in a state of great deterioration due to time. Inside, there are also many old Buddha images.

 Whether it is the beautiful Phra Prasat and the five Phra Maha Moggallana and Pancavaggiya monks, there is also Luang Pho Pa Lai in front of the chapel. This temple is considered the center of the community. It has been important since the Ayutthaya period.

             History of Wat Yai Ban Bo
 According to the history related to Wat Yai Ban Bo, it was likely built around the year 2269. In the past, the monks’ huts were located on the bank of Khlong Sunakhon, but the bank collapsed, so the various buildings had to be moved away from the original location. In addition, this temple is also important to Ban Bo Subdistrict, as it is mentioned in many travel stories because this subdistrict is an important waterway. Therefore, it has been used as a transportation route between Samut Sakhon, Samut Songkhram, and Ratchaburi since the past.

 Anyone who walks into the church will feel that it is truly ancient. It is like going back in time. Because in addition to the Buddha statue and the old church, there are also many old ruins for us to walk around and see. It gives me goosebumps. Anyone who likes the ancientness of ancient 

temples will definitely like it.
