Wat Pha Tak Suea is a Buddhist temple perched on a hilltop in Nong Khai province in northeastern Thailand. The grounds include traditional temple buildings and feature a distinctive glass platform that extends out over the cliff edge.
The temple was established to serve as a spiritual center for the Nong Khai region and has developed into a significant Buddhist location in northeastern Thailand. The site has maintained its role as an important religious center throughout its history in this region.
The temple serves as a gathering place where locals come regularly to worship and participate in Buddhist ceremonies throughout the year. The community gathers here to mark important religious occasions and maintain their spiritual practices.
