At Wat Khao Samo Khon, located in Tha Wung District, Lopburi, a major landmark is the colossal statue of "Hanuman Carrying the Mountain" perched atop the hill. This statue depicts a famous episode from the Ramakien epic. According to legend, Hanuman was tasked with retrieving the medicinal herb "Sangkaranee Treechawa" from Sanphaya Mountain to heal Lakshmana, who had been struck by a magic spear. Because it was dark and time was running out before sunrise, Hanuman could not find the specific herb, so he decided to use his supernatural power to carry (or "Kon" in Thai) the entire mountain back for the physician to pick the herbs himself. Legend has it that he stopped to rest at this location, giving rise to the name Khao Samo Khon (Samo meaning to rest or leave behind, and Kon meaning to carry). It remains a powerful symbol of courage and loyalty revered by the people of Lopburi.
