Surin - Wat Su San Tung Mon - LP Hong


We left Surin from Bangkok at 8pm and arrived in Surin at 3am.  Took a rest at a nearby resort and head towards our first temple in Surin - Wat Su San Tung Mon.  If you would like to pay respect to LP Hong, this is the temple to go.

Currently there is a law suit against Wat Su San Tung Mo from Wat Phetchaburi.  What I understand from the locals was that Wat Su San Tung Mo was the temple that took care of LP Hong and before LP Hong passed away he will all his possession and amulets to Wat Su San Tung Mo.

That's why you will see the amulet shop closed here when you go to Wat Su San Tung Mo.  Everything will be locked away till the lawsuit ends.



Recommendation ***** (must see!)

SOme food before checking in

Our resort






A nice cup of coffee in the morning, with cool refreshing air

A hardworking Ake - he washed his car while waiting for me.  Salute!



Amulet shop closed till lawsuit ends :(


The famous KMThep - Phet Pom MaKoon, Kong Thong, Phuang Thong and Thong Pi
Famous for wish granting - feature on local newspaper.  Heard from the temple helper
once a Sg luksit donated one million baht to the temple for the KMThep.  Many times
when he started the car but the engine refused to fire up.  End up he gave up, as KMThep
chooses to stay in the temple instead of following him back

I've been wanting to come here a long time before LP Hong passed away.
Though I might be late, but I came and stay a little longer than usual;
paying my respect to LP Hong.

Some feeding on the fishes before we left











Felt very close to this KMThep..stayed around and had a long chat with the temple helper

End up I got some LP Hong's rian from them...something that I came for :)
