Wat Srisrathong is the original of PhraRarhu amulet and ceremony in Thailand, founded by Luangpor Noi an abbot of Wat Srisrathong at this temple. Rarhu is the giant god who eaten the sun and moon, in Thailand people worship PhraRarhu for strong success in wealth luck fortune and protection. These are the best of PhraRarhu amulets from Thailand, all the batch create follow the same way Luangpor Noi made since the first batch. (Wat=Temple, Srisra=Head, Thong=Gold) Later King Rama IV ordered to dig a canal from the Nakhon Chaisri River to Phra Pathong Chedi, called "Klong Chedu Bucha" for more convenient transportion to pay homage to Phra Pathom Chedi. This canal lined past the southern part of the village and Huathong Temple. As the result of this, many people moved to settle down near the canal for convenience. Huathong Temple was also moved to locate near Klong Chedi Bucha. Then Luangpor Noi changed its name into "Srisathong Temple". Besides, the government has promoted the village to be Srisathong Sub-district so far. ![]() The amulet is a true amulet for Rahu fans as it is from the temple that is dedicated to Rahu in Nakhon Pathon Thailand.
