Wat Prachakhom Wanaram, Buddhist temple in Si Somdet, Thailand

The temple contains a sandstone stupa measuring 19 meters in height and 40 meters in width, with golden towers decorating its exterior structure.

Construction of the temple began in 1992 after Luang Pu Si Maha Weelo visited Borobudur temple in Indonesia and decided to create a similar structure.

The temple walls display detailed illustrations depicting the life of Buddha, Vessantara, and biographical accounts of revered Buddhist monks through five tiers.

Visitors can access the temple daily from 8:00 to 18:00 without entrance fees, located 25 kilometers from Roi Et city via Highway 2045.

The stupa contains Buddhist relics at its center and features a top section crafted from 1.5 kilograms of pure gold.
