Sim Isan or Isan Church comes from the Isan people calling churches “Sim”. The general characteristics of Sim are divided into 2 main types according to the condition of the location: Sim Nam and Sim Bok. Sim Nam is a Sim that is located in the middle of water, such as a pond, swamp, or marsh. Most of them are temporary buildings for temples that do not yet have a Wisungkhamasima. Most Sim Bok are Sims that are located on the ground and are permanent buildings. In addition, Sim can be divided according to the age and characteristics of the form into 4 types: Sim built on the original wall, Sim Hall, Sim built on the later wall, and Sim Mixed.  Sim comes from the word Sima, Sim Ma, or Phatthasima, which appears in the inscription on the stone tablet that announces the intention of the builder and is planted behind the Sim. It can be found everywhere. The meaning of these words refers to the boundary set for the assembly of the Sangha, which is an activity of the monks, with a stone sima plate as a mark showing the boundary around the area of ​​the sim.*  Sim Isan (Wat Pa Saeng Arun) is located within the area of ​​Wat Pa Saeng Arun, Phra Lap Subdistrict, approximately 6 kilometers from Khon Kaen Provincial Hall, along the Khon Kaen-Kalasin route. Sim Isan emphasizes the form, shape, stability, and ability to protect from the sun and rain, as well as the exquisite beauty of the silk mural paintings, which are unique to Khon Kaen Province, so that the next generation can study, learn, and preserve local architecture, which instills good creative thinking.

It is the most important and oldest pagoda in the history of Khon Kaen. It enshrines the relics of the Lord Buddha and is highly revered by the people of Khon Kaen and the northeastern provinces, as well as neighboring countries. It is a 19-meter-high golden umbrella-topped pagoda with a two-tiered lotus base, curved upwards to form a throne, followed by a reliquary chamber and a spire, which are recessed in the shape of starfruit petals. Then there is a garden of the top and umbrella. There is a legend about Phra That Kham Kaen that the group that brought the relics of the Lord Buddha from the city of Morey (present-day Cambodia) led by the King of Morey, along with 9 Arahants, traveled to bring the relics to enshrine in Phra That Phanom, which was not yet completed. Along the way, they stopped to rest at Don Makham, where Phra That Kham Kaen is currently located. There was a large tamarind tree that had died, leaving only the core, and the relic of the relic was placed on the core. The next morning, they headed to the construction site of Phra That Phanom. When they arrived, it turned out that Phra That Phanom had been completed, so they had to take the relic of the relic back along the same route, intending to take it back to their hometown of Moree. When they returned to Don Makham where they had stayed overnight, they saw the tamarind tree that had died, leaving only the core, come back to life and sprout lush green leaves. It was amazing. They all agreed to build a relic around the tamarind tree and enshrined the relic of the relic and the Buddha image inside. They named it “Phra That Kham Kaen” and built a temple as a residence for the 9 Arahants alongside the relic, and built houses and settled in the vicinity. Celebration and worship of Phra That Kham Kaen on the 15th day of the waxing moon of the 6th lunar month. Worship with incense, candles, flowers, and eight-nine bowls on the 15th day of every month.
