Wat Phra That Narai Cheng Weng

Wat Phra That Narai Cheng Weng is an ancient Khmer temple located in That Choeng Chum Subdistrict, Mueang Sakon Nakhon District, Sakon Nakhon Province, northeastern Thailand. Built in the 11th to 12th century in Baphuon style, it features a single laterite prang on a laterite base with sandstone lintels. Originally a Hindu shrine dedicated to Vishnu, it was later adapted as a Theravada Buddhist temple and remains an important archaeological and religious site in Sakon Nakhon.

Visitors can expect a compact archaeological compound centered on a single laterite prang standing on a raised laterite base, surrounded by a low laterite wall and open grounds. The prang is built of laterite with sandstone door frames and lintels, including a notable lintel depicting Krishna. The site is an active Buddhist temple with modern additions around the ancient structure, offering quiet grounds for viewing Khmer architecture, stone carvings, and religious elements.
