Wat Phra Loi is one of the ancient temples in Suphan Buri. The construction date and the founder remain unknown; however, given the ruin of the main hall, bricks and Bai Semas, the temple was probably constructed in the mid-King U-thong era.
The name Phra Loi is derived from the fact that there was once a white sandstone statue of the Buddha with nagas over his head floating along the Tha Chin River, also known as the Suphan Buri River. Locals then held a ceremony to bring the Buddha image up from the river. Then the temple was built where the statue was found. It was formerly known as "Wat Chalor" but later became known as the current name, "Wat Phra Loi".
In the temple, apart from the famous floating Buddha image, there are many interesting things. First of all, one of the temple's major structures is the ruin of the old ubosot over 700 years old. Presumably, it was built in the reign of King U-thong. A newer building was later constructed over the ruin so that it is now set inside the new...

My Son Sanctuary, also known as Mỹ Sơn, stands as one of Vietnam’s most remarkable ancient sites and a powerful testament to the Champa Kingdom. Nestled in a serene, jungle-covered valley surrounded by mountains in Duy Xuyen District, Quang Nam Province, central Vietnam, the sanctuary lies roughly 40–50 kilometers southwest of the historic town of Hoi An and about 70 kilometers from Da Nang.
The Thu Bon River flows nearby, enhancing the site’s natural beauty and symbolic significance, as the valley was chosen to represent the mythical Mount Meru, the sacred center of the Hindu universe.
The history of My Son begins in the 4th century, when King Bhadravarman I established the first temples around 380–413 as a sacred religious center dedicated primarily to the Hindu god Shiva, worshipped here under the name Bhadreshvara.
Early structures were made of wood, but after a devastating fire in the 6th century, later kings rebuilt them using durable red brick, a hallmark of Champa architecture. Over the ...
