Rising majestically above the cityscape, Wat Nong Wang is a surprisingly modern temple that pays homage to the rich Buddhist traditions of Thailand. As you walk through the large and sprawling grounds that are filled with lovely statues and well-detailed murals, you will see that they tell you stories of Buddhist mythology. After the grounds, you can go on to climb the staircase that will take you to the seated Buddha statue at the temple's peak point. From here, you can take in the panoramic views of Khon Kaen. Check if you can take pictures here, and if allowed, click away, but make sure you do not disturb the devotees busy doing their religious rituals here.
