Visit Kaeng Khoi Temple, see Naga Cave, and relive the past of World War II.

Kaeng Khoi is located in Kaeng Khoi community, Kaeng Khoi district, Saraburi province. It is said that this temple was originally called “Wat Raeng Khoi” because when the villagers first came to clear the area for farming, they cut down a lot of trees. Only a few large trees were left along the Pa Sak River behind the temple. It is estimated that the large trees are hundreds of years old. Therefore, the villagers did not dare to cut them down. These large trees became the home of vultures or buzzards that came to find food and live in this area. The villagers therefore called it Wat Raeng Khoi. Later, the temple’s name was changed to “Wat Kaeng Khoi” after the community. There are many interesting places in the temple, starting with the “World War II Air Raid Victims Monument”, which was built by the villagers to commemorate the deceased. In the event towards the end of World War II on April 2, 1945, Allied B24 fighter planes dropped bombs on Kaeng Khoi, where the Japanese soldiers were based. This damaged government offices, markets, temples, and houses. Many Kaeng Khoi residents and Japanese soldiers died in the incident. After the monument, on the left-hand side heading towards the Pa Sak River is Phra That Chedi Si Pa Sak is a large white chedi with gold edges. Inside, there are relics of the Lord Buddha. It is open for the public to pay homage. The highlight here is the Naga Cave, the Naga Palace, which is beautifully built and open for tourists to visit. It is located next to the Pa Sak River. The interior is decorated as a simulated underwater cave, the home of the Naga. It is decorated with colorful light bulbs and is divided into rooms, giving the feeling of being in a real underwater cave. This makes taking pictures very beautiful.
