Wat Si Ubon Rattanaram

Wat Si Ubon Rattanaram is a Buddhist temple in central Ubon Ratchathani with an impressive ordination hall inspired by the architectural style of Wat Benchamabophit. The grounds display traditional Thai design elements throughout, with ornate decorations adorning the buildings and structures.

The temple was founded in 1855 during the establishment of Ubon Ratchathani as a major regional center. This founding period reflects the religious development of the area during that era.

The temple serves the community as a place for religious teachings and daily worship. Monks conduct regular ceremonies here that shape the spiritual life of local residents.

The temple sits on Chayangkun Road across from the National Museum and offers free access to all visitors. Its central location makes it easy to reach and allows you to combine a visit with nearby attractions like Thung Si Muang Park.

The temple houses the Phra Kaew Butsarakham, a topaz Buddha image about 7 centimeters tall brought from Vientiane. This sculpture held historical significance in ceremonies where officials demonstrated their allegiance to Siamese monarchs.
