Wat Pradoo, Samut songkram updates (December 2557)

The second trip with my friends to Lp surasak temple, visiting to see the upgrading, in my previous post the hall is the midst of building. According to my good thai friend that share, in thailand, to use a whole tree trunk to build a pillar is not possible as they control strictly by the government and not allow to just chop the trees off just for building. This explained why lp is really well respected by the royal family and allow Wat pradoo to use a whole tree trunk(not abusing authority), more of a certain reason to use the holy spirit's reside in the trees.

Arriving at the temple, we are told there are a lot devotees lining up to meet lp in the morning.

The hall finally done, but still renovating and upgrading 

Vehicle donated by lp's devotees.

Donation all fully given to lp for the temple upgrading.

As usual, we will bring our holy objects that we gotten from the counter and let lp re bless and jant yant(writing of akaras)

Lp is very kind to us, lp will slowly yant everything we got.

The very special yant blessing(head massage), metta is really strong

Of cause the most important here is photo of lp surasak painstakingly goes up to nakhon pathom to learn making biagae(cowrie shells) from lp jeud/cher. According to my thai friend, lp cher approved lp surasak made good biagae no different from lp cher.
