Ban Grong Greng

Ban Grong Greng (Thai: บ้านโกรงเกรง) is a rural village in the north-west portion of the Nakhon Pa Mak Subdistrict of Bang Krathum District of Phitsanulok Province, Thailand.

Ban Grong Greng has the greatest population of the eight villages in Nakhon Pa Mak, and it encompasses the largest area as well.

[citation needed] The style of the chedi at Wat Grung See Jayrin is influenced by earlier Thai pagodas, such as those found in the ruins of Ayutthaya.

[4] The ceremonial funeral chants at Wat Grong Greng are in Pali, the language of prayer of the Ceylonese Buddhist monastic community, [5] members of which Ramkhamhaeng imported from Sri Lanka to teach Theravada Buddhism to his subjects in Thailand.

A Wat Grong Greng is mentioned in a work entitled เรื่องจริงอิงนิทาน เล่ม 1 (which loosely translates to first book of traditionally passed down stories) by Rasilingdam (Thai: ฤาษีลิงดำ).
