Wat Indraviharn

We go to Wat Indraviharn on Visuttikasart Road every year to pay respect to Luang Por Toh Buddha image, make merits and dedicate to the deceased.

Luang Por Toh Buddha image, approximately 30 metres tall, was constructed in 2410 B.E. and took 60 years to finish. It was redocorated in 2525 B.E. using 24K gold plate mosaic tiles from Italy.

Every year we make it a family tradition to clean the Buddha images before sprinkling them with lustral water on Songkran Day.

P' Ood, P' Toi, P' Taew, P' Tor and their family pay respect to Mom on the occasion of Songkran festival. They are my cousins, and children of my father's elder sister. My father has quite a lot of sisters and brothers. Including their spouses, the number of his family members are twelve. Ten have passed away, including my father at the age of 63. The remaining two include my mom who is now 87. Mom also has a lot of brothers and sisters but she is the only one of her family who still lives well and has a good health. She therefore has a lot of relatives who are nephews, nieces, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren, etc. I estimate the number is around 100. Every year, on the occasion of Songkran festival, Thailand's New Year, some of them come to pay respect to her.
