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.
