Wat Phra That Nong Bua, a beautiful temple in Ubon Ratchathani

Wat Phra That Nong Bua is one of the most beautiful temples in Ubon Ratchathani Province, especially the Phra That Chedi Si Maha Pho, which is very unique because it was modeled after an Indian chedi. The carvings around the chedi are also very intricate. It is another important spiritual center for Ubon residents. Another highlight that has created quite a stir is the two large Naga statues, Grandfather Krit Krakot and Grandmother Maniket, enshrined together. The interesting thing about these two Naga statues is that they are Rainbow Naga or Chapayaputta Naga, one of the four Naga families (Thais are more familiar with the Erapatha or Green Naga families). This family of Naga is rare and has a mysterious habitat. Tourists often come here to pray for good fortune.
