The temple that Luang Pu Suk revered during his lifetime is frequently visited by him. This is another important temple in Chai Nat. Additionally, the highlight and spiritual center for the people here is Luang Por Tham Chakkara, a statue depicting the Buddha in the "Hama Yati" (peaceful) posture on a lotus blossom. The provincial emblem of Chai Nat itself is derived from the outstretched hand of Luang Por Tham Chakkara. Standing at 4.5 meters tall, Luang Por Tham Chakkara features a "Dhammachakra" mark in the center of his palm, measuring 2 inches in diameter. It is believed that this concept stemmed from artisans of that era, who intended to create this Buddha statue with symbols representing the “Maha Purisa Lakkhana,” or the 32 characteristics of a great person, according to Indian tradition. For instance, there are “chakras” on the soles of his feet, a net-pattern design on the palms and soles, ankles resembling an upright conch shell, and a chin akin to that of a lion.
