Wat Nong Pho, Buddhist temple in Ban Nong Pho, Thailand.

The temple features a white Chedi with a gilded top, containing a room with mural paintings depicting the life of Siddhartha Gautama.

The monastery gained prominence as the residence of monk Luang Po Doem, who lived there until his death in 1951 at age 91.

The temple museum presents artifacts from four millennia of village history, including personal belongings of Luang Po Doem and his collection of sacred knives.

Located at coordinates N 15°22'50 E100°15'3, the temple welcomes visitors daily from sunrise to sunset without entrance fees.

A large laterite Sala within the temple complex houses an oversized reproduction of Luang Po Doem's ceremonial knives, known as Mit Mo.
