Wat Phra That Phasornkaew

95 Moo 7, Khao Kho Camp Son

Nestled on a hillside in the Thaeng Daeng village of Khaem Son Sub-district, this site began its construction around the end of 2004, surrounded by nature and a tranquil atmosphere. Its purpose is to serve as a meditation center focused on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, which form the core of Buddhism, as taught by the Buddha himself. This path is regarded as the unique route leading to the purity of body and mind, the cessation of suffering, and the attainment of the Noble Path and Nirvana. The location is enveloped by majestic mountains that create a breathtaking backdrop. Among the notable features of the temple are the Ubosot (ordination hall) housing five Buddha statues, elegantly arranged in descending order, as well as the stunning Phra That Pha Sorn Kaew stupa. This stupa is beautifully adorned with a mosaic of colorful tiles, jewelry, and Benjarong porcelain bowls. The stupa's structure includes designated areas for meditators and a separate living area for monks. Additionally, on the hill, there is a cave where local villagers have reported seeing orbs floating in the sky, disappearing into the cave at the cliff's summit. The community believes this phenomenon is connected to sacred relics of the Buddha, making the site a revered place, regarded as both auspicious and holy. It is commonly referred to as “Pha Sorn Kaew,” symbolizing a auspicious omen for the Thaeng Daeng community and those who come to meditate. For inquiries, please call: 06 3359 1554. The site can be accessed by private car. From Bangkok, take the route passing through Saraburi Province, following Road No. 21 to Saraburi, Lopburi, and Phetchabun. Once you pass through Phetchabun city, keep an eye out for the Khun Phaka Mueang Monument on your left as you near kilometer marker 260. Then, turn left onto Highway No. 12, heading towards Lom Sak and Phitsanulok. Continue on Road No. 12 for about 30 minutes until you reach kilometer marker 103, where you will note the local administrative office (OBT Khamsorn) on the right side, with a Kasikorn Bank across on the left. Drive straight past the U-turn and look for a sign for "Buddhadharma Site Phra Sorn Kaew" at the entrance of Thaeng Daeng village, adjacent to the OBT Khamsorn. Turn left, proceed straight until you see the entrance bridge to the temple, then turn right over the bridge and park in the designated area.
