San Chao Mae Soi Dok Mak

Wishing for love that keeps growing—just like my list of things I want more of, including a fatter wallet! 💕📸💰#ChaoMaeSoiDokMak Chao Mae Soi Dok Mak Shrine, located at Wat Phanan Choeng in Ayutthaya, has a captivating story. Legend has it that a Chinese emperor sent his daughter, Princess Soi Dok Mak, to marry King Sai Nam Phueng of Ayutthaya. A grand fleet was sent to escort her to the city. When she arrived, however, she only saw royal officials waiting and not the prince himself, who was still preparing. Upset by the lack of a proper welcome, she refused to disembark. When King Sai Nam Phueng finally came aboard to invite her personally, she expressed her displeasure and, heartbroken, took her last breath on the boat. Today, Chao Mae Soi Dok Mak is still believed to be a powerful deity. Many people come to the shrine to make wishes for children, success, or love, and they often see their prayers answered. Offerings of pearl necklaces, cosmetics, lion dance decorations, and other items are left in gratitude for fulfilled wishes. The legend of the "Prince of Honey Water and Princess Soi Dok Mak" is also tied to the establishment of Wat Phanan Choeng. Visitors believe that Chao Mae Soi Dok Mak can grant any wish to those who pay their respects. #AyutthayaAwe #AyutthayaAttractions
