     Wat Sothon Wararam Worawihan, originally known as Wat Hong, was constructed during the late Ayutthaya period under the reign of King Narai the Great. This sacred temple is home to the revered Phra Buddha Sothon, a revered Buddha image that has become an iconic symbol of Chachoengsao. Crafted by skilled Lan Xang artisans, this mesmerizing stucco Buddha sits in a meditative pose, measuring 1.65 meters wide and 1.98 meters tall. According to ancient legends, the original Phra Buddha Sothon was a beautifully cast bronze image that miraculously floated to the temple. To protect this sacred artifact from theft, monks covered it in stucco, resulting in the iconic form we see today. Visit Wat Sothon Wararam Worawihan to experience the rich history and spiritual significance of this remarkable temple.
