Wat Phra That Choeng Chum Worawihan

Wat Phra That Choeng Chum Worawihan is a first-class royal Buddhist temple in That Choeng Chum Subdistrict, Mueang Sakon Nakhon, Sakon Nakhon Province, northeastern Thailand. Centered on a 24-meter square chedi enshrining relics of the Buddha, it is the most revered religious landmark in the province. Originally a Khmer prang later encased in Lao-style brick and stucco, the temple complex includes viharns, chapels and historic artifacts reflecting centuries of regional heritage.

Visitors can expect a spacious, active temple compound centered on the tall square chedi of Phra That Choeng Chum, surrounded by viharns, chapels, Buddha images and shaded courtyards. The chedi is ornately decorated with stucco and gilded details and can be circumambulated. Inside the grounds are prayer halls, murals, historic boundary stones and a small exhibition area. The atmosphere is calm and devotional, with locals making merit, lighting incense and offering lotus flowers.
