Hello everyone. ❤️
My First Long Holiday Travel Experience 🌟
This trip was a self-drive adventure with my group of friends. We chose to visit a small town we had never explored before: Mae Sot District, located about 160 kilometers from Tak City. This charming town lies near the border with our neighboring country, Myanmar 🌏.
Our trip took place this past Tuesday, and one must-visit check-in spot in Mae Sot is Wat Thai Wattanaram 🛕. This temple stands out with its stunning architecture and peaceful atmosphere. Many people come here to pray for blessings and good fortune. Of course, I couldn't miss experiencing the beauty and sacredness of this temple myself 💫
Upon arriving at Wat Thai Wattanaram 🛕, you will find a spacious parking area available for both Thai visitors and tourists who come to explore this temple 🚗✨. There is an important rule to follow here: wearing shorts is not allowed within the temple grounds. This guideline is in place to show respect for the sacredness of the site 🙏.
Wat Thai Wattanaram 🛕 is a temple renowned for its striking beauty. The surrounding buildings are adorned in gleaming gold, influenced by Burmese-style artistry ✨. This golden structure, known as the "Golden Viharn", features intricate and exquisite carvings, making it a key highlight that attracts many visitors.
When I visited Wat Thai Wattanaram on a Wednesday, the temple was relatively quiet, allowing me to enjoy its peaceful and serene atmosphere 🌿. Upon entering the temple grounds, the first thing that caught my eye was the golden twin swan statues 🦢✨. Just beyond these statues stands the revered "Nats" (or "The Deity Who Grants Wishes"), a popular spot where many Thai people come to pray and seek blessings for good fortune 🙏.
In front of the Wish-Granting Deity (Nat), there is a signboard with instructions in Thai for making an offering before making your wish ✨. The process begins by standing straight and placing your forehead against the deity's outstretched index finger, while silently making a wish for what you desire 🙏.
This ritual reflects a unique aspect of Thai beliefs, and the temple is renowned for its sacredness in granting wishes. As a result, many people come here seeking blessings and good fortune 💫
In fact, Wat Thai Wattanaram offers several opportunities to make merit, such as the birthday merit-making spot or offering alms to the monks, which are activities that help bring blessings and good fortune into our lives 🙏.
Before continuing on to other tourist spots, we took a moment to relax and admire the beauty of this temple. It truly became one of the most memorable and meaningful highlights of our trip 💫.
