    I came here on my last trip to Thailand back in May. Very beautiful temple and very well maintained. I was absolutely blown away from the moment I arrived with the pyramid shaped temple and the art work when you walk inside showing both old and new traditions. Definitely worth the visit and the views from the top are amazing too. Khon Kean is another one of my favourite provinces with so much to see and do. This is one province I will always come to

    Gorgeous pagoda temple with a dinosaur sub theme. Visit on a windy day to get the full effect of the wind chimes that adorn the spire. The climb to the top is not too difficult but don't expect the stairs to be uniform in height. The climb is worth it though, the view from the top is amazing.

    Absolutely beautiful Temple. Been here a number of times and love to go back. First time I've actually walked all the way up to the 8th floor. Yes there are nine in this Temple. Gorgeous view from the top. Definitely go again you will absolutely love it.

    One of the most famous place in Khon Kaen. Good place to make merit and worship to buddha statue. If time allows, you can climb up to the top of stupa to see Khon Kaen City panoramic view.

    One of iconic buddhist temple in KKC the architecture is Esaan style. Located near downtown city. You can walk up to the top of the temple.

    I feel like I have seen a million temples over the last 10 years so I'm generally not looking forward to visiting another one but I have to say that this one is quite unconventional with the 9 floors, the cool wind on the upper floors and the nice view of the lake and the city of Khon Kaen.

    Absolutely lovely temple, with few tourists, very rewarding to climb to the top level with great views of the town and refreshing wind.

  • 5/5 Gavin P. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good, a great temple and full of history and great view at the top.

  • 5/5 Sue D. 3 years ago on Google
    Very breath-taking view of the city from the ninth floor of the temple. The temple is cleaned and have a spacious parking lot. Don't mind if you come pay a visit and forgot to wear trousers or long skirt - they let you borrow a sarong for free here (just don't forget to return it to the lower tier on the shelf 😊). Whether you come for praying or just strolling for a view, it's highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Laurent edge (. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful Temple, go before 5pm and climb to the top you will see a beautiful view over the city.

  • 5/5 Chitapon J. 2 years ago on Google
    Stunning temple. There are nine floors of this temple and you are allowed to go the top! so that you could see a nice view of the city. Polite outfit is required but just in case, you can borrow their sarong for free

  • 5/5 Anti G. 2 years ago on Google
    Most probably the best temple in Khon Kaen. Enough space for parking. Sometimes of course a bit busy, but never too crowded. Make sure you make it all the way to the top 9. floor. Yes, the view up there is breathtaking but also one will be Buddha very close. 🧘‍♂️🧘‍♂️🧘‍♂️🧘‍♂️🧘‍♂️

👍👍 Reminds me of Lake Merritt in Oakland, California. Easily looped either on foot or cycling/ nightime lights / Thai temple and so many jewels as in eateries, coffees, bakeries, convenience stores, etc. Plenty of shady areas and a little difficult now with the tear up/ extending lakeside walking areas...
