Wat Khao Phanom Phloeng, Buddhist temple in Si Satchanalai, Thailand

The temple complex stands on a hilltop, accessible through a long stairway built with 144 laterite blocks leading to the main structures.

Dating from the 13th century, Wat Khao Phanom Phloeng features a Ceylonese style chedi positioned on a high square base with multiple circular tiers.

The temple contains a large laterite Buddha image in the Subduing Mara posture within its ubosot, symbolizing an important moment in Buddhist teachings.

Visitors need to climb the extensive staircase to reach the temple grounds, which remain open throughout the year as part of Si Satchanalai Historical Park.

The mandapa houses the Chao Mae La Ong Sam Lee shrine where modern devotees leave colorful dresses as offerings to the local deity.
