Talking about the sanctity that we believe in, each person has respect for different sanctities such as the temples that we regularly go for merit making or the monks that we believe in. Besides the sanctity that hold our respect, the respectable sanctities are equally important as they are the spiritual attachment of the people in the community or province. They are different in each region. The southern region of Thailand is considered another region with many respectable sanctities. For example, “Wat Phra Borommathat Chaiya Ratcha Worawihan” in Surat Thani Province is the home of the Buddha’s relics and the only place in Thailand that ultimately reflects the arts of the Srivijara period. It is assumed to be built in the 13th-14th Buddhist Century but there appears to be no clear history of the construction. The important landmark in the temple is the Buddha Relic Pagoda majestically located in the temple and it is the pagoda which both Thai and foreign tourists come to pay respect for auspiciousness. Accordingly, it is a highly-revered and respectable place for the people in Surat Thani Province and other nearby provinces. The temple also compounds Phra Wihan Luang and the ordination hall which are decorated with fine Thai patterns. In addition, the temple has 3 red sandstone Buddha images which were built in the Ayutthaya period enshrined in the outdoor courtyard of the temple for the people to pay respect. Moreover, the temple has Chaiya National Museum exhibiting the antiques found in Chaiya District which are valuable antiques that should be preserved for later generations to study. The museum is open from 9.00-16.00 except on public holidays. The entrance fee is 20 baht per person. If you want to see real art of the Srivijara period and pay respect to the respectable sanctity of Surat Thani Province, you are always welcome to visit Wat Phra Borommathat Chaiya Ratcha Worawihan in Surat Thani Province.
