Wat Si Ubon Rattanaram

Wat Si Ubon Rattanaram is a historic Theravada Buddhist temple located on Uparat Road in Nai Mueang Subdistrict, Mueang Ubon Ratchathani, Ubon Ratchathani Province, Thailand. Established in 1855 during the reign of King Rama IV, it is a first-class royal temple of the Mahanikaya sect. The temple is notable for its traditional Isan and Rattanakosin architecture, its revered principal Buddha image Phra Kaeo Butsarakham, and its role as a central religious site in the city.

Visitors can expect a central city temple compound with an ordination hall (ubosot), vihara, and auxiliary buildings set in a paved courtyard. The ubosot houses the principal Buddha image Phra Kaeo Butsarakham and features traditional Thai-Isan architectural details, gilded decoration, and murals. The grounds are active for daily worship and merit-making, with monks present, and offer a quiet, respectful atmosphere for sightseeing and photography of religious art and architecture.
