Hello friends, amidst the afternoon sunlight, my wife and I decided to stop by to see the beauty of Wat Satthatham, a temple located in Village No. 5, Na To Ming Subdistrict, Mueang District, Trang Province. This temple is a temple of the people, belonging to the Mahanikaya Sect, Region 17, with an interesting history.
