Any trip to Thailand without at least a single temple on the itinerary just doesn’t sound right and Khon Kaen is no exception. Phra Mahathat Kaen Nakhon, popularly known as Wat Nong Wang, is Khon Kaen’s pioneering temple that draws the majority of visitors to the Isan Thai city. The star attraction of the temple is its architecturally magnificent nine-storey stupa, a sight that is truly worth admiring. The towering stupa is not only meant to be admired from the outside but also invites you to climb up its 9 storeys, bringing you striking Buddhist relics and affording views of panoramic scenery.
