Post, June 25, 2005
...Phra Khru Palad Sampatviriyajarn said the ancient pagoda
was discovered by chance by temple staff who were investigating
tree trimmers' complaints of mysterious incidents whenever
they trimmed that bodhi tree. The temple staff removed a fence
and a big pile of trash near the tree and found the pagoda,
half-covered with garbage.
...Words engraved on the pagoda showed it was built in 1853
for about 640 baht and was opened the following year...
