1. What is Phra Phuttha Sothorn?
Phra Phuttha Sothorn (พระพุทธโสธร) is one of Thailand's five most sacred Buddha images. The original statue depicts the Buddha in Samadhi (meditation) posture — legs crossed, palms facing upward — and is believed to date from the Ayutthaya Period (1350–1767). According to Thai legend, three Buddha statues floated upstream along the Bang Pakong River and were miraculously retrieved near Wat Sothon in Chachoengsao Province around B.E. 2313 (1770 CE). The temple has since become one of Thailand's most important pilgrimage sites.
