  1. Wat Phochai is famous for being a Royal Temple that housed the most significant Budha immage that is well know locally and nationally. People from near and far come to visit the temple just to have a chance to visit Luang Phor Prasai which many believe in it’s magical power. The temple is always crowded with vistors especially during the Thai New Year and special Budhist ceremony. It is located at the southend of the city and be accessed by hired public transportation (if you do not haave a car). The temple is very well kept and the beautiful architecture is worth the time to visit.

  2. In Nong khai this is a must place to visit. The evening with some Buddhists come to pay tribute to Phra Sai

  3. 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.

  4. This is one of the famous wats in Nongkhai. It is next to the bus station and a large covered market. Inside the temple there are very realistic paintings showing how a golden Buddha statue was being transported by raft along the river when it sank in a storm. The Buddha image was later recovered and brought to the temple. Outside the temple you may see worshippers lighting jossticks and making offerings

  5. A great and serene place. You can go here straight from Wat Arun (cross the river by boat). We must put off our shoes or sandals to see the main hall. For this is a holy place.

  6. our first stop after crossing over from Laos. from outside the temple look normal, busy with worshippers, etc. but inside, the interior walls are covered with beautiful murals, one have to spend some time admiring all of them.

  7. Beautiful temple close to the centre of Nong Khai. Well maintained grounds and building exteriors. The interior of the main temple is stunning, take some time to study the paintings on the walls.

  8. The most important monastery in Nongkhai province , main bhudda statue is Phra Sai , which is acquired from Vientiane hunderd years ago. Temple complex is very crowded with visitors, and Thai /Laos to pay respects to.
