Building the Great Pagoda

"From the concrete base to the gold top... the faith that is shaping concrete."

At the temple of Ban Don Noi, T.Gudpiman, Chanchan Khun Tad, Nakhon Ratchasima.

Under the leadership of Provost Pradeshthong (King Rung) and the encouragement of the clergy and the villagers in the community.

What you see is a dream that is becoming a reality.

From a bare concrete structure still filled with rebar, scaffolding and mortar dust, it became a bell-shaped, illuminated gold, tall, elegant pagoda, striking the middle of the fields and the northeast city sky.

Father Rung and the clergy, along with the villagers of women, men, working age and the elderly, were united in their own actions, every hand, every force, every penny, every penny of true faith.

This stupa is not just a building, it is the planting of Buddhist foundations in this area, building on the historical traces of ancient pagodas in the northeast, as a source of faith, the embodiment of the minds of later generations of Buddhists.

Progress of Construction Works

The base and main structure of the Great Pagoda have been fully formed.

The summit section and architecture details are underway.

The plastering, finishing and gilding work will be the next major step.

Despite the hot sun, despite the hard work, the smiles and intentions of everyone who appears in the photos all reflect the unquenchable power of faith.

Contributed to the History of Little Don House Temple

Anyone who believes and wishes to merit the construction of this Great Pagoda can donate through

QR Code Contribution (Thai QR Payment - PromptPay e-Donation) of the temple

Even a little, but with pure spirit, will become a great force to complete this great stupa.

"What is good is to do good. What is sincere is opportunity. What is said is a lesson. What is written is memory."

- Reverend Rung. -

Ban Don Noi Temple, thank you all for your merit and for your future merit.

May this charity result in happiness and prosperity in this world and in the next.
