The Taksin Shrine at Wat Lum Mahachai Chumpon in Rayong commemorates the great king who tradition tells rested here, tying his Elephant to a Satue tree and gathering his troops and planning the strategy that would ultimately drive the Burmese out of Siam. The tree still stands on the temple site.

The Taksin Shrine itself is a fairly small building with the statue of the King sitting, covered in gold leaf. The rest of the temple seemed to be closed, but the shrine was still fairly busy. Worth a visit if you’re in Rayong.
