Wat Nong Waeng, the royal temple of Khon Kaen
📌📌For those who love making merit, come this way. This beautiful temple in Khon Kaen Province, the land of Isan, I must say that it is not just an ordinary temple that you can come and pay homage to and that's it‼️
"Wat Nong Waeng Royal Monastery" is considered a famous temple that has been with Khon Kaen for a long time. Anyone who travels to Khon Kaen must always stop by to make merit and pay homage here. Inside the temple, there are activities to make merit and offer alms to monks, just like many other temples. There will be monks in the chapel. No matter when you go, you can make merit.
What is different from other temples is the architecture here. Wat Nong Waeng is a royal temple that has the Phra Mahathat Kaen Nakhon or the 9-storey pagoda, which has a perfect blend of art. Every floor of the 9-storey pagoda is open for us to visit, and each floor has different highlights. On the top floor (the 9th floor), there is the relics of the Lord Buddha. We can go to pay homage up to the 9th floor.
Many people may be discouraged because they have to walk up 9 floors of stairs, but I must say that this 9-storey pagoda is really not to be missed, unless you are really physically exhausted. Don't force yourself, because if we go up to the high floors The stairs are steeper and narrower than before, but if you go up to the 9th floor, you will see a panoramic view of Khon Kaen city. The view in front of you is Bueng Kaen Nakhon, which is a landmark where Khon Kaen people often go to do various activities.
If you visit Khon Kaen, don't forget to stop by and visit. If you walk to the 9th floor, I can tell you that you won't be disappointed.
