Description

Wat Phong Sunan in the old city of Phrae (inside the city moat) is the temple of the Wongburi family. Formerly it was an abandoned temple known as Wat Pong Sanuk. In 1929 the temple was renovated and a new shrine hall was built with the support from Luang Phong Phibun (Jao Phrom) and Jao Sunanta, owners of the Wongburi House. Thus, the temple was renamed Wat Phong Sunan after Luang Phong Phibun and Jao Sunanta. The symbol of this temple is a large reclining Buddha near the wall. The principal Buddha image in the ordination hall sits in the subduing Mara posture, named Phra Chao Saen Suk. The image is more than 500 years old. Behind the ordination hall stands the Phra That Phong Sunan Mongkhon Chedi.
