Visiting Wat Phra Non Laem Pho (BE2566) The Golden Reclining Buddha ~ SongKhla ~ Thailand.

An interesting attraction when you go to Ko Yo island, Songkhla. As you passed through the Tinsulanonda bridge, this temple is just the first left turn from the bridge. The huge golden reclining Buddha is the main attraction and a scenic estuary overlooking the bridge.

Wat Phra Non Laem Pho was located on Ko Yo island. It was built in 1787 during the reign of King Rama III (built more than 200 years ago). Wat Phra Non Laem Pho is believed to be built since the early Rattanakosin period by a monk "PhraKru Thipwasi" (Phrom Kaew) from Wat ThaiYo. As the area of the temple is a cape with a number of "Pho trees", therefore, it is called "Wat Laem Pho". In recent years, the large Golden Reclining Buddha image of nirvana posture was constructed in year 1994 by the temple. It is enshrined outdoors at the foot of the Tinsulanonda Bridge and is eye-catching by the road users.
