Wat Phra That Choeng Chum (Sakhon Nakhon)





Wat Phra That Choeng Chum is a beautiful Laos-Thai style temple in Sakhon Nakhon. It houses a 24m, Gold and White, Laos style square chedi that builts over the original Khmer prang, which can still be seen through the doors of the chedi. It is a sacred place for people of the province as they believe Buddha once left a footprint. The profound scripture of “Urangkhathad” reveals that the previous incarnations of Buddha and the future Buddha have also and will left their footprints at this exact spot.
