Wat Phra That Phanom, Buddhist temple in That Phanom District, Thailand.
The temple features a 57-meter tall white and gold chedi structure near the Mekong River, containing precious Buddhist relics within its walls.
The temple's construction began eight years after Buddha's death when five Mon kingdom rulers initiated building to house the sacred breast bone relic.
The temple holds great significance for Thai and Laotian Buddhists, who gather annually for a week-long festival to honor the sacred relics.
Located 70 kilometers south of Nakhon Phanom city, the temple welcomes visitors during daylight hours without requiring an entrance fee.
The temple's chedi contains 110 kilograms of gold at its peak and features detailed reliefs depicting scenes from Brahman mythology.
