Wat Pikul Thong is one of the significant temples of Singburi Province. Its major feature is a towering gold statue of the Buddha. This is a destination for locals and visitors alike, who come to enjoy the quiet environment and to wish for harmony in their lives. Surrounding the Buddha are temple buildings, artwork, and bells.
The Buddha is the founder and principal figure in the Buddhist faith. He lived during the sixth centre BCE, beginning life as an Indian prince, but then turned from a life or power and ease, to seek enlightenment. The Buddhist belief system centres around the teachings of the Buddha and the Buddhist community, and includes a belief in reincarnation. There are approximately 500 million Buddhists, and, while present in virtually every country, its practitioners are most likely to be found in India and east Asia.
