Wat Hin Mak Peng, Buddhist temple in Phra Phutthabat, Thailand.
The temple sits on the banks of the Mekong River, with three distinct rocks along the northern shore that resemble ancient gold weighing scales.
Established in 1939 by Master Ajahn La, the temple received its royal designation as a monastic boundary in 1970 under the Dhammayuttika Nikaya order.
The temple maintains a museum displaying personal items, relics, and wax figures of Venerable Ajahn Thet Thetrangsi, a respected meditation master.
Every December from the 17th to 19th, the temple organizes memorial ceremonies to commemorate the passing of Venerable Ajahn Thet Thetrangsi.
The temple features a glass skywalk extending over the Mekong River, offering direct views of the water flowing beneath visitors' feet.
