Wat Phra That Choeng Chum, Buddhist temple in Sakon Nakhon, Thailand

Wat Phra That Choeng Chum is a Buddhist temple in Sakon Nakhon featuring a white and gold stupa that rises above ornate buildings. The grounds display traditional Thai architecture with multi-tiered roofs and decorative finials throughout the complex.

The temple was founded during the Lan Xang period and houses relics of four previous Buddhas. This sacred location became an important pilgrimage destination for Buddhist devotees across Thailand.

The monks here conduct daily meditations and welcome visitors to religious ceremonies. This temple serves as a living center where ancient Buddhist practices continue to be observed and shared.

The temple grounds are open daily from sunrise to sunset for visitors. Wear long pants or skirts and remove your shoes before entering any of the buildings.

The footprints of four different Buddhas converge at this location, creating a rare sacred formation. Pilgrims regard this convergence point as a special intersection of spiritual significance.
