Wat Pho Somphon, Buddhist temple in Mak Khaeng, Udon Thani, Thailand

The temple features traditional Thai architecture with tiered roofs, gilded spires, and ornate decorations throughout the white and gold buildings and pavilions.

Founded during the early development of Udon Thani, Wat Pho Somphon emerged as a center for Buddhist teachings and spiritual practices in northeastern Thailand.

Monks at Wat Pho Somphon lead daily meditation sessions, religious ceremonies, and provide spiritual guidance to local residents and visiting worshippers.

Visitors should wear long pants and sleeved shirts when entering the temple grounds, and remove shoes before stepping into the main prayer hall.

The temple houses a collection of precious Buddhist artifacts and maintains a garden where sacred Bodhi trees grow, connecting to Buddhist traditions.
