Phra That Si Song Rak, Buddhist pagoda in Dan Sai, Thailand.

The 20-meter tall pagoda with a 9-meter wide base stands prominently on the banks of the Man River in Loei Province.

Built in 1560 by King Setthathirath of Lan Xang and King Maha Chakkraphat of Ayutthaya as a symbol of mutual defense against Burmese forces.

The stone inscription at the temple declares a perpetual commitment between kingdoms to avoid territorial disputes and maintain peaceful relations.

The temple grounds remain open daily for visitors, with guided tours available to learn about its architecture, historical importance, and spiritual significance.

The pagoda contains a distinctive Buddha statue combining Tibetan style with a stone-carved nagaprok head and bronze body construction.
