Wat Phothisat Banphot Nimit วัดโพธิสัตว์บรรพตนิมิต
Wat Phothisat Banphot Nimit (วัดโพธิสัตว์บรรพตนิมิต) Kanchanaburi Wat Phothisat Banphot Nimit (วัดโพธิสัตว์บรรพตนิมิต) is situated at Tambon Nong Ya. This temple is in the Lanna style since Khruba Bunkhum Pasanno, the abbot who was a disciple of a well-known monk master in the North, made a pilgrimage in Cambodia’s and Myanmar’s forests until reaching Kanchanaburi province. Therefore, he began to build a temple in order to propagate and practice the Dharma, and worship sacred objects. In the temple’s area, there is a huge Guan Yin (Goddess of Mercy) carved out of white jade, the Siri Mongkhon Chai Chedi in the Lanna style, and shady decorated areas. Every September, there is a ceremony to show gratitude to teachers in the Lanna style, including a Tung and Saliang procession, which is the big annual fair of the temple.
To get there: It is 9 kilometers from the city; pass Wat Tham Khao Pun.
