Phra Mahathat Kaen Nakhon, Buddhist pagoda in Nai Mueang, Thailand.
The Phra Mahathat Kaen Nakhon rises 80 meters high with nine distinct levels, featuring a square base of 50 meters on each side near Kaen Nakhon lake.
The pagoda was built to mark both the 50th anniversary of King Bhumibol Adulyadej's throne ascension and the 200th anniversary of Khon Kaen's establishment.
Each floor contains specific Buddhist elements, including Buddha relics, ancient scriptures from the Tripitaka, and murals depicting Isan daily life and religious narratives.
Visitors can access all nine floors of the pagoda daily from 7 AM to 5 PM, with the top level offering panoramic views of Khon Kaen city.
The structure incorporates traditional Isan fishnet patterns and architectural elements from the Indochina-Dvaravati period, with four mini-Buddha relics at each corner of its base.
