Home of Luang Pho Phra Sai
The Tourism Authority of Thailand describes Luang Pho Phra Sai as a sacred Buddha image deeply revered by Nong Khai residents. The image is the reason this city temple matters, not simply a decorative feature inside it.
Wat Pho Chai
Wat Pho Chai is a royal temple on Pho Chai Road in Nong Khai. Its central image, Luang Pho Phra Sai, connects the temple to the city's religious life and its history on the Mekong border.
A living city tradition
TAT records that the image is paraded through town during Songkran so people can pay respect and pour water over it. That tradition places Wat Pho Chai within Nong Khai's public religious calendar and Thai-Lao cultural setting. Check current arrangements before planning around a procession.
