The coat of arms
of
Prachinburi shows a large
ficus religiosa
(fig.)
that refers to the story of a religious delegation from India that
came to Thailand to preach Buddhism bringing along a shoot of the
bodhi tree (ton poh) from
Bodh Gaya, under which the Buddha was seated
when he gained
Enlightenment (poh) and planted it in the
tambon Kohk Pihp,
in the
amphur Sri Maho Sot, near Sri Maha ‘Poh’.
