Khao Chong Chat Temple, Nong Wua So District, Udon Thani Province

The beautiful Big Buddha Temple. Driving into Nong Wua So District, looking to the right, I saw a big white Buddha statue on the mountain. So I opened it on Google Maps and drove to stop by on the way back to Udon Thani. It is a temple with a chapel inside the big Buddha statue. Climb the stairs to the top. On the cliff on the left, there are many Buddha statues. Walk up to get some fresh air and see the view at Pha Sam Phaen Din (be careful). It is called Pha Sam Phaen Din because you can see the area where 3 provinces meet: Udon Thani, Nong Bua Lamphu, and Khon Kaen. Make merit by taking flowers, incense, and candles downstairs and then bring them to pay homage upstairs. Don't forget to stop by to pay homage to the principal Buddha statue at the entrance on the side of the big Buddha statue on the left.
