Wat Khao Wong Phra Chan

Lopburi, Khok Samrong

At the top is the footprint of the Yonakapure Buddha image, which those who wish to pay homage have to walk up the stairs over 3790 steps to reach this point. It is said that this is The original Buddha's footprint and the oldest in Siam country Now, the way up is a staircase with a handrail. Come in the evening and at night when there is work, it is quite convenient to walk. If during the normal period there is no work, one can walk up every day before 5 p.m. According to history, it is said that The last giant Thao Kok Khanok who did not give up on Rama. according to the legend of Ramayana This giant was hurled by Rama, flying across the Indian Ocean and landing on this mountaintop. Then Rama cursed an arrow to stick in his chest. If one day the arrow moves, Hanuman, Luk Phra Phai, will bring a hammer to reinforce the arrow in his chest as before. But the giant was hit like this and still didn't die. Mrs. Nong Prachan, the daughter of Thao Kok Khanok, flew by to take care of her father. Thao Kok Kanak could only lie down in the cave on this top of Nang Prachan Mountain, and later, when she learned that if vinegar was applied to the base of her arrow, the arrow would move out. But if the arrow moves The glass chicken will crow and call Hanuman to bring a hammer to hammer the arrow. That's why Lopburi has not had vinegar for a long time. According to this legend, this mountain is called Khao Nong Prachan or Nang Prachan Later, in the year 1953, Reverend Father Opasi came up on this hill and saw that the 4 sides of the hills were curved hills Wherever you look, you can see that it is surrounded by a circle. therefore dubbed "Khao Wong Phra Chan" ever since

พิชิต 3790 ขั้น ขึ้นสู่ยอดเขาวงพระจันทร์ ทางเดินขึ้นมีชันมากน้อยสลับกันไป มีร้านค้าขายของตลอดทางไม่ต่ำกว่า 50 ร้าน ช่วงงานเทศกาลประจำปีจะจัดช่วงวันตรุษจีนของทุกปี ด้านบนเขามีพระพุทธรูป พระพุทธบาท จุดชมวิว จุดให้ทำบุญ และข้าวต้มที่ใครหลายคนพูดกันนักต่อนัก แนะนำมาเดินช่วงเย็น-กลางคืนคนจะไม่เยอะมาก ใช้เวลาเดินขึ้นนานหน่อย
