Wat Phrathat Nong Bua

Visit Wat Phrathat Nong Bua, the province’s important Theravada temple, to see the Bodh Gaya-style pagoda named ‘Phrathat Chedi Si Maha Pho’ or ‘Phrathat Nong Bua’, which was built in 1957 to mark the 25^th century anniversary of Buddhism.

The distinctive white and golden Pagoda, measuring 17 metres wide and 56 metres high, houses the relics of the Lord Buddha. The white and golden plaster plates depicting the Buddha in different postures were used to decorate the whole pagoda. Also, the pagoda is surrounded by four smaller pagodas at each corner.
