Wat Nong Pho, Buddhist temple in Ban Nong Pho, Thailand.
Wat Nong Pho is a Buddhist temple featuring a white Chedi topped with gold leaf, located in the village of Nong Pho in Thailand. The complex includes a large laterite building and a room decorated with murals that depict scenes from the life of the Buddha.
The temple became prominent under the leadership of the revered monk Luang Po Doem, who lived and led the monastery there until his death in 1951 at the age of 91. His long presence shaped the temple and made it an important spiritual center in the region.
The temple preserves personal items and sacred knives that show the daily life and spiritual practices of the monks who lived there. These objects tell the story of the community and its devotion.
The temple is open daily from sunrise to sunset with free entry for all visitors. Respectful behavior and modest clothing are appreciated when exploring the grounds.
The temple displays an oversized reproduction of the ceremonial knives of the revered monk, known as Mit Mo, housed in a special laterite building. This unusual exhibition demonstrates the deep reverence held for the spiritual leader of the place.
