I visited the temple in mid January 2023. The weather was cool and breezy with slightly humid. The area around wihan has a magnificent mountaintop view with a massive temple court. Inside the wihan, there's a long statue of a reclining Buddha, beautiful marble floor and wood sculpture with storytelling signs. If you are bringing the elderly, don't worry. The floor has a good grip, there are ramps for wheelchairs, and handrails for the stairs. There is also a cloth rental service available for those who are not properly dressed (wearing short pants or a skirt).

The interior of the temple just as breathtaking because in the main assembly hall, you will find a 20m statue of a marble Reclining Buddha crafted entirely of Italian Carrara White Marble with the marble sourced from the same quarries as Michelangelo’s David, Sheikh Zayed Mosque and Marble Arch London. On auspicious occasions, dappled light shines through the stained glass ceiling. This light casts an array of mesmerizing patterns over the Buddha statue…. Truly a sight to steal your breath away…. #watpaphukon #nongkai #amazingthailand

My journey to Wat Pa Phu Kon, located in the tranquil hills of Udon Thani province, culminated in a 2-hour drive, arriving just as the temple was closing at 5pm. Despite the interior being inaccessible, the temple's exterior and grounds were a profound experience in themselves. Wat Pa Phu Kon, a relatively recent addition to Thailand's spiritual landscape, completed in 2013, is renowned for its striking blue-tiled roof that harmonizes beautifully with the lush greenery of its surroundings. The temple houses a magnificent 20-meter long reclining Buddha, crafted from Italian Carrara marble, symbolizing the Buddha's entry into Nirvana. The temple's isolated location, deep within the forested hills, adds to its allure, making it a serene oasis of spirituality and nature. The tranquil atmosphere, especially at dusk, offers a perfect setting for introspection and appreciation of the peaceful coexistence of man-made and natural beauty. As the sun set, casting a golden hue over the temple, I was reminded of the rich cultural tapestry and spiritual heritage that Wat Pa Phu Kon represents, truly a hidden gem in Thailand. #2024wish
