Samut Prakan - Wat Asokaram - LP Lee

As one of the province's major temples belonging to the Dhammayut order (Thai Forest Tradition), it has many spots of interest such as Phra Thutangkhachedi (Dhutangachedi), a complex of 13 "chedis," or "stupas" which contains relics of the Buddha, and Wihan Wisuthithammarangsi (Vissudhidhammarangsi), a 3-storey building with 4 porches and a superstructure in the form of a mondop. A giant statue of the Indian Emperor Asoka is also worth mention. The temple was founded by the great saint Ajahn Lee Dhammadaro, whose remains are interred in a casket in the main temple hall.
