Nakhon Si Thammarat - Ho Phra Sihing

 
Ho Phra Sihing, a small chapel in the courtyard of the Thai-style prefecture (in the town center, where Highway 4019 turns off to Thung Song), houses a famous figure, the Buddha Phra Sihing (Sukho style). In both the Bangkok National Museum and in Chiang Mai in Wat Phra Singh there are identical copies, whose authenticity is questioned. The original is thought to have come from China. Of note are the two Buddha figures dressed in gold and silver.
