The Pagoda for Buddha’s relics at Dharmongkol Temple

There was a famous monk respected by all people in that area, practicing Buddha’s sermons and mediation in a wood. The people who have faith in the monk devoted land and money to build a temple to build a shelter for the monk and it become the Dhamongkol Temple in the present day. The concept design fulfills the monk’s intension to build the highest pagoda in Thailand. Since the land price is expensive, every floor should maximize utility. Therefore, it seems like a pagoda standing on top of high building. One inspiration is from the great pagoda Bodh-gaya, the Buddha’s enlightenment place in India. The shape of the pagoda is in bell shape which is popular in the Ratanakosin period, which implies that this pagoda is built in contemporary period.
