What travelers are saying

Me and my wife visited Wat Pho Chai December 2017, it's was beautiful place with slot of gold ornaments.

The Buddha statue in the chapel, Luangpor Pra Sai, ages several centuries and believe to be very sacred and widely respected by Thais and Laos.

People tend to search for the Sleeping Buddha idol and get lost, cause the complex is kind of large.

Very inside decoration

It seems that all wats are made on the same pattern, most of them look the same outside. This one from the outside is standard but inside the decoration is superb, every centimeter is cover by painting, quit impressive.

One of the most sacred place for Nong Khai

Sacred places that the Buddhism or the ones who want to know more about Buddhism should not miss. Story about Phra-Sai (Buddha Statue) painted on the inner walls of the main temple are a good work.
