The grounds of this historic temple are where
the Battle of Thalang took place in 1785. Inside are three very
old statues of the Buddhawrought in tin; they are the largest in
the world and date from a time when tin was regarded as a semi-precious
metal.
The bellies of the three big statues each
contains a smaller statue, from which derives their name, "Monks
in the Belly" in local vernacular. or "The
Three Kings" in formal language. Located on Thepkrasatri
Road, in Thalang Town at the tracffic light.
