The "City Pillar" is carved from Chaiyaphruek wood, which is considered an auspicious wood, and is 108 inches high. The top of the pillar is carved into the shape of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva with 4 faces or 4 directions, which looks like the 4-faced Maha Brahma. In addition to coming to pay homage for good luck, most people come to ask for blessings in business, luck, land sales, or to pass the civil service exam. #Mr.Tourist
