Wat Pa Pradu

Wat Pa Pradu was our first temple in Rayong Province. The old ubosot was under renovation and donations were collected while we visited. The hall itself had holes on the sides through which visitors walked in, through the building and out the other side and around the building. They did this several times as part of a prayer. The temple also has a huge new building on it's compound as well as a reclining Buddha image, which is unique because it lies on it's left side. It is of early Ayutthaya / third period U-thong-style.  And there is a large seated Ayutthaya-style Buddha image, called Phra Pa Lilai.
