Wat Khao O

Wat Khao O is a Buddhist temple in Makok Nuea featuring traditional structures with intricately designed roofs, painted walls, and ornamental details throughout. The grounds contain several prayer halls, meditation spaces, and residential areas arranged as a connected compound.

The temple was established several decades ago and developed into a significant center for Buddhist learning and practice in the region. It played a key role in preserving religious teaching traditions for successive generations.

The temple serves as a community gathering place where locals participate in daily prayers and seasonal celebrations. People come here to perform personal devotions and observe rituals that connect them to their spiritual traditions.

Visitors should remove shoes before entering buildings and wear long clothing to respect prayer spaces. The best time to explore is outside early morning and evening hours when the community performs prayers.

The monks here preserve hand-written Buddhist texts in classical Thai scripts that often go unnoticed by visitors. These old manuscripts are visible in the library areas of the temple and show a living tradition of manuscript writing.
