Nong_Khai

Wat Pho Chai
The wat is located off Prajak Rd, in the east-central part of town. The temple is famous for its exquisite Lang Xang style sitting Buddha image, Luang Pho Phra Sai. The image has a solid gold head, with the usnisa (wisdom 'bump' on the head) decorated with rubies, while the body is bronze. The inside of the bot is lined with murals depicting the dramatic journey of the image from Laos. The image sunk while being transported across the Mekong in 1550. It remained on the riverbed until 1575, when it was retrieved and placed in Wat Pradit Thammakhun. It was later moved to Wat Pho Sai during the reign of King Mongkut (1852-1868). During the annual Songkran Festival in April, the highly revered image is led on a procession around the town.

Prap Haw Monument
The monument was raised in 1886 to commemorate the victory over Chiin Haw (Yunnanese) tribesmen who invaded the region in the late 1800's. The monument is in front of the city hall. The monument contains the remains of top officials who lost their lives in crushing the rebellion.

Phra That Nong Khai
This temple is better known as Phra That Klang Nam. The Laos style chedi has slipped away from the river bank and is placed in the middle of the river. The top of the chedi is only revealed during the dry-season; when it is immediately adorned with religious decorations by the locals. The chedi is located about 2.5km east of town.

Wat Hin Mak Peng
This temple is located in Si Chiang Mai district. Situated on the banks of the Mekong River, this tranquil meditation centre is a great place to view the Laotian landscape. The grounds of the temple are tended to by Mae Chii, Buddhist nuns.
