Worshiping Buddha on the banks of the Mekong River

Wat Phra That Si Kot Tabong, Tha Khaek, is located on the banks of the Mekong River, opposite Nakhon Phanom Province, approximately 6 kilometers from Tha Khaek town. It is an ancient temple with a Phra That inside. Locals believe that it was built during the reign of King Nanda Saen of Sri Kot Burapha. It was later renovated for the first time during the reign of King Chai Setthathirat. Inside the temple is a large Buddha statue, built by Chao Anuwong, for people to pay homage and ask for blessings, fortune, work, and finances.
