Wat Pa Phu Kon

1/11/2020

Picture
Wat Pa Phu Kon is nestled in the Mountains of Udon Province in the District of Na Yung and approximately 65 kilometers west of Nong Khai.  The drive into the Temple area is amazing in itself providing a beautiful drive through the mountains of the area. The Temple does not have a long history, having only been completed construction in 2013. 

However the artistry that went into every aspect of the Temple is just amazing.  Especially considering the Temple is located high in the mountains.  In fact, in order to transport visitors to the temple, 4X4 trucks are  needed  the last 1.5 kilometers due to the steep slopes of the road. This would make the transportation of construction materials very difficult.

The Temple area is a 2 acre platform holding 5 buildings, all beautifully decorated with Buddhist related statues tastefully scattered about.  The largest building houses a beautifully gold detailed 65 foot long white reclining Buddha. And an  amazing view of the valley below can be found on the southern end of the platform.
