Samut Sakhon Travel Guide : Phanthai Norasing Shrine

          Although it is a small province, Samut Sakhon has a lot to offer visitors, and many of these attractions are relatively unexplored. One such site to visit is Phanthai Norasing Shrine, which is seen as a symbol of honesty. The shrine was built as a memorial for Phanthai Norasing, a man of high integrity who lived during the Ayutthaya period. In 1704, Phra Chao Sua, king of Ayutthaya, made a royal visit using the royal barge to Khok Kham Canal. Phanthai Norasing was the coxswain of the barge and did not know how to steer it.

           As a result the prow of the barge broke after it hit a limb of the tree. Phanthai Norasing immediately acknowledged his mistake and although he was forgiven by the king, Phanthai Norasing requested the king to kill as per the palace. King Chao Sua granted Phanthai Norasing his wish and after his death, the king built a shrine for the slain coxswain. The shrine was built at Khlong Khok Kham. Later this canal was disused because of the sharp curves and instead the Mahachai Canal was built. More...
