Wat Somdet Phu Ruea Ming Mueang is perched on a picturesque hilltop overlooking Moo 6 Nong Bua, 42160, Thailand
Wat Somdet is a very magnificent temple in Phu Ruea. It is build from first class wood and the carving is very beautiful. It is located on one of the hill near the entrance of Phu Ruea National park. I can see the beautiful scenery of Mt. Phu Ruea from Wat Somdet.
The wooden temple in a high ground you can enjoy the view here. It’s very peaceful here. I stop by here after Phu Ruea.
This is definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area, though it still is under construction. Beautiful artwork, lovely wood carvings and great views of the surrounding countryside.
This is a lovely wooden temple still under construction being built of the site of an earlier shrine. The wooden carvings are exceptionally easy for the casual visitor to understand – showing, apart from the life of the Buddha, the consequences of being naughty and the punishment in hell fire. There’s a nice view too.
Just when I thought no temple could further amaze me, I came upon this incredible place. It is a new temple complex (in the works for some eight years now) and is still “a work in progress.” But what is already in place is phenomenal! The wood temple buildings are adorned with massive elaborate wood carving, green stone (from Myanmar) carved Buddha and naga statues, wide wooden floor planks (some a meter in width), and one jaw-dropping construction after another. The main wooden temple building has massive 4-meter high wooden carved doors, and eight huge wooden carved wall panels (each almost 5 meters square). There are other massive wood carvings on the outside walls of other buildings, depicting the evils/sins of humans and their related punishments in the afterlife, and the progression to good and higher level bliss. I can’t say enough about the awe-inspiring nature of this temple, which seems to be largely overlooked by most visitors.
This was quite honestly the most impressive temple I have seen and I have seen hundredsI was not able to see the entire complex and will definitely be returning.
