Phra That Phu Pek, Buddhist temple ruins in Na Hua Bo, Thailand.

The sandstone temple structure sits on a laterite base at 520 meters above sea level, featuring a square foundation and incomplete tower design.

The temple originated as a Hindu shrine dedicated to Shiva during the 11th century, possibly commissioned by King Udayadityavarman II between 1050 and 1066.

The temple contains two modern Buddha images and a stone replica of an ancient Buddha statue that was relocated to a local religious site.

Visitors need to climb 494 steep steps to reach the summit, where the ruins stand within Phu Phan National Park, 37 kilometers west of Sakon Nakhon.

The temple features a 1.3-meter tall Shiva linga and includes an ancient stone quarry directly behind the structure that supplied materials for construction.
