Sa Pang Thong a large pool It is on the east side of Sakon Nakhon town. Created according to the motto of the Khmer in the past for use in dry season irrigation Digging a well that is not deep from the soil surface would be less tiring than digging wells with deep groundwater levels in the area near Nong Han, so suitable for building dams Small for dry season Currently, it is the location of Somdet Phra Srinakarin Park.

Sakon Nakhon is a public park that Sakon Nakhon people use to relax at leisure and used to organize Loi Krathong long boat race and various festivals In other words, it is Baray (a pond in the Khmer civilization) because the Khmers were known to be experts in irrigation systems in the past. From the history that has been told, but in the past There will be a holy well known as "Phu Nam Rod" at Wat Phra That Choeng Chum.

The assumption is Originally, Wat Phra That Choeng Chum was Arokya Sala (Khmer things built in the Jayavarman era) because this land (Sakon Nakhon) expected that the Khmer civilization, including the great power of the Khmer As will appear from various architectures such as Phra That Narai Cheng Weng Phra That Phu Pek, Phra That Dum, Khmer Bridge, Khmer Castle, Ban Phan Na (Sawang Daen Din) are all Khmer civilization. It is said that.

When people come to draw water at this holy well, if Kutang agrees to go to the "Phang Thong Pond" that should be a real part. Because between the ponds of Phu Nam Rod, there is a tunnel to deliver water from Barai, "Sa Phang Thong", and this type of water delivery system is common in the South East, around Prasat Muang Tam. (Buriram Province) There will be a pond (Baray) very similar in size to this "Sa Phang Thong". This canal or tunnel is Khmer called "Lalom". In fact, there are many Khmer castles in Sakon Nakhon. But in the past no one knew what it was.

Therefore, it was destroyed and dismantled, for example, at Klang Phra Sri Thongchai. There is clear evidence that he had been in Arokya Sala or Dharamsala before by observing from laterite stones that are still littered with enough to see But it is assumed that yes for sure. including in Wat Phra That Choeng Chum itself In the past, there will be laterite stones. placed around the relics Currently, it has been dismantled and placed in front of the cubicle.
